Warning – Pishing Attempt !

Updated on 6 Jul 2026

Emails have been identified that purport to be from the Federal Tax Administration (FTA) and use the following addresses (this list is not exhaustive): @federaltaxadministration.com, @ftaswiss.live. These addresses are not affiliated with the FTA and constitutes a phishing attempt. Reminder: Official emails from Swiss federal authorities are sent from addresses ending in @admin.ch (or a subdomain of xxx.admin.ch). Do not click on any links, do not open any attachments, and do not provide any personal, financial, or tax information. Report the message according to current procedures and delete it.

Access to tax rulings issued by the FTA

In criminal proceedings concerning value added tax, withholding tax, and stamp duty, as well as concerning international administrative assistance, the FTA issues penalty notices, penalty orders, and orders to discontinue proceedings. Such decisions conclude the criminal proceedings once they become final.
