Important information on default interest on AHV contributions and the interest rates for tax payments.
Interest rate adjustments from January 1, 2025
Interest on late AHV contributions is charged regardless of whether the fault lies with the insured person or the compensation office. Interest on arrears of 5 percent is due on statements submitted too late.
Due to the fall in interest rates, the federal government and most of the cantons of Central Switzerland have adjusted the interest rates for tax payments. Those who pay their taxes early or make sufficient payments on account will continue to benefit from interest - albeit at slightly lower rates. The interest rates for underpaid taxes were also reduced accordingly.Further detailed information can be found in our article.To the article
