Our experience with Caisse AVS Vaud

What we learned filling in the forms, from the office's own information and documents, and with our customers. Always with date and source.

Office documents
No address, no certificate
Under the simplified procedure you do not have to issue a salary certificate. Your employee receives a certificate of source tax paid from the office, which she attaches to her tax return. To post it to her, the office needs her address on the wage declaration.

Form tested
Two forms: pick the right one
The office offers two online forms for households. For the simplified procedure, take the one with «procédure simplifiée (LTN)» in its title. The other, «S'affilier en tant qu'employeur de personnel de maison», is for the ordinary procedure and already asks for your accident and pension contracts.
