The Best Swiss Cantons for Doing Business

Credit Suisse Bank has published an annual rating of regions for doing business.

Main conclusions

• The top positions of the rating remained unchanged compared to last year.
• Nidwalden, which took only the fifth place in the rating, became the most attractive in terms of corporate tax this year. But the taxation scheme for individuals is most favorable in Zug.
