Taxes in the canton of Uri
Uri is one of only two cantons to forgo a progressive schedule: taxable income is charged at a single proportional (“flat”) rate, to which the canton and municipalities apply their multipliers. That makes the calculation unusually transparent — and attractive for high incomes, because the marginal rate does not rise. Combined with low living costs, Uri regularly ranks among the cheapest cantons outside the well-known tax hubs.
