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.
Frequently asked questions
- Which municipality has the lowest tax multiplier in canton Basel-Landschaft in 2026?
- Pfeffingen has the lowest municipal tax multiplier in canton Basel-Landschaft in 2026, at 45%.
- What is a tax multiplier (Steuerfuss)?
- The multiplier is the percentage of the cantonal base tax that a municipality levies. Your municipal income tax = base tax × municipal multiplier. Canton and church add their own multipliers on the same base.
- Are tax multipliers comparable between cantons?
- No. Every canton defines its own base tax scale, so multipliers are only meaningful within one canton. For cross-canton comparisons you need the effective tax burden at a given income.
- Is church tax included in this ranking?
- No — the ranking uses the pure municipal multiplier. Church tax multipliers (Protestant and Roman Catholic) are listed separately in the table and apply only to registered church members.
