Our experience with SVA Aargau
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
A certificate instead of a Lohnausweis
SVA Aargau sends your household staff a certificate of the taxes already settled, which they attach to their tax return. You do not have to issue an additional salary certificate. The source tax settles the tax on this wage for good, so your employees no longer have to declare it.

Registration runs through the Aargau online form «Anmeldung Personal im Haushalt und Liegenschaftsverwaltung», in four sections. With «Zwischenstand speichern» you can pause, and at the end you get a PDF copy. Unlike the federal form, it does not ask for your own AHV number.

The pension fund question
In the «Angestellte» section the form asks whether your employees belong to a pension fund. If you choose «Nein», you must give a reason, for example «Anschluss pendent». Settle the answer before you start.

Online platform connect
