Tax levied on the net profit of legal entities (LLCs, corporations). It is collected at three levels: federal (8.5% of net profit), cantonal, and municipal (variable). The effective total rate ranges from ~12% (Zug, Nidwalden) to ~24% (Geneva) depending on the canton and municipality. Deductions are available (depreciation, provisions, loss carry-forwards).
