Media and news

Welcome to the media office of the Federal Tax Administration FTA. The FTA Communications unit supports media representatives with media information in the area of taxation at federal level. Due to tax secrecy in Switzerland, we do not provide information on specific tax cases. Media professionals can contact Adrian Grob, Nadine Ellis or Patrick Teuscher: media(at)estv.admin.ch; +41 58 464 90 00.
