Equal treatment under the Federal Constitution Sample Clauses

Equal treatment under the Federal Constitution. In 1962, the Federal Tribunal held that the source taxa- tion procedure of the Canton of St. Gallen violated the constitutional principle of equal treatment.57 The Court stated that the procedure treated, without any objective reasons, foreign nationals who were resident but did not hold a permanent residence permit differently from both foreign nationals with a permanent residence per- mit and resident Swiss nationals. It was noted that the purpose of the source taxation procedure is the facilita- tion of taxation of individuals who stay only for a brief duration in the canton. The Court, however, held that such a purpose could not justify the different tax treat- ment. It was emphasized that difficulties could arise from the brief duration of presence in the Canton, but not from the lack of a residence permit. The Court argued that an objective reason for the application of a source taxation procedure could be lack of residence in the Canton. Finally, the Court concluded that resident foreign nationals without a permanent residence permit were in the same position as resident foreign nationals with a permanent residence permit and resident Swiss nationals.58 Three years later, the Federal Tribunal confirmed its pre- vious ruling insofar as the source taxation procedure of the Canton of Aargau constituted unequal treatment.59 The Court, however, reconsidered the justification argu- ment. In this case, the Court held that the tax adminis- tration could not always clarify the question of residence of foreign employees. In 1964, approximately 720,900 frontier workers and foreign employees without a per- manent residence permit worked in Switzerland. The Court noted that there was an increasing number of for- eign employees who left Switzerland without paying taxes. It was concluded that the unequal treatment was March 2006, Federal Journal 2006, p. 5167. The amending protocol entered into force on 2 February 2007 and, in general, applies with retroactive effect from 1 January 2006.
