BERN, SWITZERLAND – Swiss hotels could be exempt from paying value-added tax in 2012-13 to help them fight business lost because of the high Swiss franc, if a lower house committee vote is duplicated in the upper house.
The finance and economy commission voted 13-12 Tuesday 10 January to make one exception to its refusal to review measures to help fight the over-valued franc, in agreeing to give the hotel industry a year’s grace starting in April 2012.
