The Grand Council of the canton of Vaud has approved a tax brake that favours wealthy residents. The vote runs against an earlier decision by the same body on the matter. A tax brake of this kind limits how quickly tax bills can rise, a protection that matters most to high earners. The approval comes on top of a tax cut already secured for the middle class. Headline framing of the report accuses the centre-right of breaking promises made to voters. Quantified figures on the gains for wealthy households were not included in the short piece. Expect debate over the fairness of the canton's tax system to intensify as the rule takes effect.
