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.
