Sources: 2. Developments: 2. Switzerland has introduced several legislative measures targeting fiscal policy, corporate transparency, and labor regulations. In late September 2026, the Swiss Parliament approved a safeguard clause regarding immigration from the European Union. This measure allows for a one-time tax on companies for foreign workers, ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 Swiss francs, if high immigration causes serious economic or social issues. By October 2026, new transparency regulations came into force through the Federal Act on the Transparency of Legal Entities and the Identification of Beneficial Owners. This law established a central, non-public register of beneficial owners to combat money laundering and terrorism financing. Additionally, the Swiss Federal Council approved new labor provisions for startups, effective December 1, 2026, which allow for more flexible working models, including extended daily working spans and reduced daily rest periods, provided certain averages are maintained. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-29: Switzerland implements new transparency register and startup labor rules Switzerland has enacted a new transparency register to combat money laundering and introduced flexible labor regulations for high-growth startups starting in late 2026. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/switzerland-implements-new-transparency-register-and-startup-labor-rules ### 2026-10-06: Switzerland and Hungary announce new fiscal and immigration tax measures Switzerland considers a new safeguard tax for EU migrant workers, while Hungary announces a wealth tax for high-net-worth individuals and changes to small business taxation starting in 2027. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/switzerland-and-hungary-announce-new-fiscal-and-immigration-tax-measures --- Cite as: Swiss regulatory and fiscal policy changes.
