100'.00 & '94.00

Bus/Financial - Law: Taxation & Customs / Steuerfuss (Switzerland Tax Return)
German term or phrase: 100'.00 & '94.00
I am translating a swiss tax return. Under computation of tax it is mentioned Steuerfuss (tax rate) as follows:
Steuerart Steuerfuss Betrag CHF
Staat 100'.00 5’229.00
Politische Gemeinde '94.00 4’915.25

As for as I know, an apostrophe as a thousands separator along with a dot "." as the decimal separator are used for currency values.
Therefore, Betrag (amount) CHF 5'229.00 is to be translated as CHF 5,229.00 when translating in English.

However, what is an apostrophe and a dot for rate of interest for Canton as 100'.00 and for political municipality '94.00.
For Political Municipalty the apostrophe is written before 94 and for Canton the apostrophe is after 100.
What does this apostrophe and dot mean?

Would you please help me.

Thanks and Regards,

Explanation:
Would help to know the Canton, but the apostrophe appears to denote the tax tier

Politische Gemeinde Uster 91% *94%* 94% 94% 94%
Sekundarstufe Uster 18% 18% 18% 18% 18%
Total Gemeinde 109% 112% 112% 112% 112%

PS I am no longer in touch with Fräulein Uster, so cannot make further enquiries.

Example sentence(s):
  • Der kantonale Steuerfuss kann in Prozent oder als absolutes Vielfaches angegeben werden. Liegt der kantonale Steuerfuss bei 100% beziehungsweise bei 1, ist die tatsächlich geschuldete Staatssteuer gleich hoch wie die einfache Staatssteuer.
