Switzerland has established a referendum deadline of 19 April 2025 for the protocol to the 2005 tax treaty with Serbia.
Earlier, Switzerland’s Council of States approved protocols amending income and capital tax treaties with Serbia on 9 December 2024.
The Swiss National Council (lower house of parliament) approved the ratification of the protocol to the 2005 tax treaty with Serbia on 25 September 2024.
The protocol, which was originally signed on 19 September 2023, is the first amendment to the treaty. It will enter into force once the ratification instruments are exchanged and will apply from 1 January of the year following its entry into force.
