185'000 Swiss francs for a conference are not to much

The Swiss tax officials had celebrated last year's anniversary in Lucerne. The high costs for this and previous Events made the headlines. The Lucerne financial Director Marcel Schwerzmann, had approved the cost into perspective.

185'000 Swiss francs for a tax Congress not to be too much, Schwerzmann (independent) of the view. An important "public Association", as the Swiss tax conference SSK should commit to a 100-year-anniversary-worthy.

The framework programme with a drinks reception on a boat, and a city - or a Museum visit was certainly not a sumptuous Feast, stressed Schwerzmann now in an Interview he gave to the Newspapers "Eastern Switzerland on Sunday" and "Central Switzerland on Sunday".

The claim of Schwerzmann

He stands up anyway, however, that the Meeting of the SSK verkämen to parties. "Completely independent of the current discussion, I have called for recently by the President of the SSK vehemently that he ensures that the events of the SSK also really the specialist topics and the exchange of focus," said Schwerzmann.

The Lucerne's financial Director, noted: "We have been looking for the 100-year anniversary." Because the SSK know a fixed basis, who organize what time is the event. He was of the view that it "would not be very polite", after 20 years of participation in other events the occasion.

Schwerzmann stressed that the Canton of Lucerne, 105'paid 000 francs, and about 85'000 Swiss francs the participant. Organizes the have the local tax authority, which had provided him the concept and he gave the green light. "Because I found the costs for the Canton of CHF 100'000 for a unique 100-year-anniversary with around 200 participants is acceptable," said Schwerzmann. (fal/sda)
