How we measure this
ESTVThe municipal tax multiplier (Steuerfuss) is the percentage of the cantonal base tax (einfache Staatssteuer) a municipality levies; the 2026 values come from the Swiss Federal Tax Administration (ESTV). Multipliers are NOT comparable across cantons — each canton defines its own base scale — which is why this ranking stays within one canton. Church tax is shown separately and applies only to registered members.
