The Federal Tax Administration (FTA), in collaboration with the Swiss Tax Conference (SSK) and in consultation with representatives of the business community, has made formal changes to the salary statement and pension certificate form.

The anonymous 13-digit AHV or insured person number must be entered in field C of the salary statement or pension certificate form. The date of birth of the taxpayer can now be entered instead of the old AHV or insured person number. The other changes only concern formal designations/translations and are not relevant for the correct declaration on the salary statement.

From 1 January 2021, the new form must be used for declaring wages and pensions for 2020.
