Phishing attempt posing as the FTA

Updated on 21 May 2026

A fraudulent message is currently circulating which purports to be from the Federal Tax Administration (FTA) and announces an alleged tax refund of CHF 287. This email is a phishing attempt designed to trick you into entering your bank details on a fake government website.Please ignore these emails, do not click on any links they contain, do not disclose any personal information, and delete these emails.

International comparison

Until 2021, the "Tax Burden in International Comparison" was published annually by the FTA. It provided a compilation of information on numerous tax rates and tax shares in various OECD countries.

This publication will not be continued. Corresponding data can be found on the websites of the OECD (Revenue Statistics) and the IBFD (Tax Research Platform).
