Reforms to Switzerland’s AHV first pillar pension that comprises old age and survivors’ insurance were agreed to by parliament in 2021, but could be subject to a referendum vote in September 2022 due to a proposed value-added tax (VAT) rate adjustment. The deadline to decide if a referendum will be held is 7 April. In addition, the Swiss National Council is considering proposed reforms of the BVG second pillar scheme that comprises old age, survivor and disability insurance.
