However, the vote was a narrow one: the National Council's Economic Affairs Committee (WAK-N) decided in favor of the tax justice initiative by 13 votes to 12, as reported by the parliamentary services on Tuesday. The committee also approved the indirect counter-proposal by 13 votes to 12.
According to the statement, the strong minority demanded a "no" vote recommendation on the initiative "for individual taxation independent of marital status (tax justice initiative)" by the FDP women. It also rejects the indirect counter-proposal.
The National Council is expected to discuss the bill in the fall session.
