According to Swiss Tax Conference, Swiss tax system’s development is historical in nature rather than a rational or theoretical one. A humbling statement of the noble body, indeed. With Federal tax administration, 26 Cantons and 2,250 communes venturing to have a pie in the tax collections of the great nation, mostly known in history for its beauty, great role in world wars and its cheese, liquor or beautiful cows, Switzerland, obtained its tax system in Helvetic period (1798 -1803).

For an Indian professional, it is important to know the current tax system in Israel so that when he would visit it as an expert engineer, scientist, capitalist or collaborator on defense projects, he is well prepared for his asset/wealth/income creation. It is not unusual to compare Indian brain with the best ones from Israel since both stimulate curious queries from others about their brilliance though both have no comparison in any other thing except their glorious civilizations.
