Our experience with AK Zug

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
The office sends the salary certificate
Under the simplified procedure you do not issue a salary certificate. AK Zug puts it this way: «Der jährliche Lohnausweis kommt direkt von der Ausgleichskasse.» (the annual salary certificate comes directly from the compensation office). The office later confirmed this to us in writing.

Information from the office
AHVeasy lowers the administration fee
The administration fee is calculated as a percentage of the AHV/IV/EO contributions, not as a percentage of the wage. If you file the wage declaration electronically through AHVeasy, a lower rate applies than on paper.
