There are several options for submitting declarations – from electronic transmission via Swissdec to online declaration, submission by email or on paper. Different procedures apply depending on the method chosen. It’s worth choosing the right type of declaration at an early stage.

And it’s particularly important to record the relevant salary components correctly. Not all remuneration paid out is automatically included in the total payroll subject to declaration. Whether allowances, expenses or other compensation need to be taken into account depends on how they are classified. A carefully prepared declaration saves you time and helps you to avoid follow-up questions or corrections.

Our tip: Make sure you allow sufficient time for the salary declaration. This ensures that any ambiguities can be addressed in good time and that the declaration can be submitted by the deadline.

To help you complete your salary declaration efficiently and accurately, the information sheet contains important information and answers to frequently asked questions.
