Art. 127 BV · Grundsätze der Besteuerung

Die Ausgestaltung der Steuern, namentlich der Kreis der Steuerpflichtigen, der Gegenstand der Steuer und deren Bemessung, ist in den Grundzügen im Gesetz selbst zu regeln.

Soweit es die Art der Steuer zulässt, sind dabei insbesondere die Grundsätze der Allgemeinheit und der Gleichmässigkeit der Besteuerung sowie der Grundsatz der Besteuerung nach der wirtschaftlichen Leistungsfähigkeit zu beachten.

Die interkantonale Doppelbesteuerung ist untersagt. Der Bund trifft die erforderlichen Massnahmen.
