The Geneva Tax Commission has come up with a plan to mitigate the worst effects of the new car tax.
Some owners have seen a massive rise in their bills after the canton switched to taxing cars by their CO2 emissions.
The commission will put its plan to the Grand Council this week.
It will cost the canton CHF 8m in lost tax.
The idea is to cap the amount it can rise by. It can’t be more than double than the tax under the old system for the next three years. Older vehicles will be exempt the rise, and then motorhomes – which were unduly hit - will be taxed by weight.
The Grand Council will vote on the measure this Friday – but it may just be a stop gap. It’s possible the whole issue will be discussed again next year.
