• provide that Swiss cantonal taxes are treated as if they were federal taxes
• contain rules for determining whether an amount is designated concession income
• specify when the capital gains are taken to have been subject to tax for the purpose of the CFC measures, the transferor trust measures, and the non-assessable non-exempt treatment of foreign branches of Australian companies, and
• set out the accruals taxation laws of other countries that are recognised for the purpose of providing relief from double accruals taxation.
