Our experience with Caisse AVS Valais
What we learned filling in the forms, from the office's own information and documents, and with our customers. Always with date and source.
Form tested
Page 1 is only the instructions
The «Questionnaire décompte simplifié Plus» has two pages: the first contains only explanations, and every field is on the second. At the top of page 2, tick «Déclaration d'affiliation en vue du paiement des cotisations», the box for a new registration.

Office documents
By post only
The office's e-business platform is not open to simplified-procedure accounts. A household therefore posts the signed questionnaire, and each year its wage declaration, to the office in Sion.

Frequently asked questions
How do I register my cleaner with the Caisse de compensation du canton du Valais?
With the compensation office's PDF form from avsvalais.ch: fill it in, sign it and send it by post. Clino prepares the details for you.
What is the FAK rate in the Canton of Valais?
The FAK contribution is 2.78% of gross wages (employer) plus 0.131% employee contribution, a Valais peculiarity.
What minimum wage applies to a cleaner in Valais?
There is no cantonal minimum wage in Valais. The minimum wage of the federal NAV for household work is binding: CHF 20.35 an hour unskilled, CHF 22.30 with 4 years' experience or an EBA, CHF 24.55 with an EFZ. It applies from 5 hours a week with the same household.
What child allowances apply in the Canton of Valais?
Child allowance: CHF 327 per child a month. Training allowance: CHF 477 a month. Plus a one-off birth allowance of CHF 2'142. As of 2026.
What is the simplified procedure (VAV) in Valais?
Under the simplified procedure you settle AHV/IV/EO, unemployment insurance and a 5 % withholding tax once a year through the compensation office (Caisse AVS Valais). It is optional and applies up to CHF 22'680 of annual wage per person. Accident insurance (UVG) is only included if you choose the plus option when you register. Otherwise you take it out yourself with an insurer.
What happens if I don't register my cleaner in Valais?
An employer who does not join a compensation office and settle the wages commits an offence under the AHV Act: a monetary penalty of up to 180 daily units (Art. 87 AHVG). On top come the social insurance contributions, as a rule back-dated up to 5 years.
What does Clino cost?
CHF 19.90 per month. First 30 days free. Cancel monthly.
How do I register my cleaner with the AHV in Valais?
You register as an employer with Caisse AVS Valais (the responsible compensation office) and add your cleaner with her AHV number (756.…). Under the simplified procedure (VAVplus) one filing per year is enough. Clino prepares the AHV registration for Valais and guides you step by step.
What does the AHV registration cost in Valais?
Registration itself is free. Only the social contributions apply: AHV/IV/EO 10.6% and ALV 2.2% (split in half), plus the cantonal FAK contribution (employer only) and UVG. Clino calculates all Valais rates automatically.
From what wage must I register my cleaner with the AHV?
In a private household, AHV registration is mandatory from the first franc – across Switzerland, including in Valais. Only wages of employees up to age 25, up to CHF 750/year, stay exempt, unless the employee asks to pay contributions.
I already have accident insurance. Can I switch to the simplified procedure Plus?
Yes. The form reminds you that you must then cancel the old accident policy, respecting its notice period (AHV leaflet 2.07, section 7). A change of procedure only takes effect at the start of a calendar year (AHV leaflet 2.07, section 9).
My employee lives in France. Can I use the simplified procedure Plus?
No. The office's questionnaire says so, as does AHV leaflet 2.07: in Valais the simplified procedure is not possible if you employ cross-border workers who live in France. Because it must cover all your staff, the ordinary procedure then applies to all your employees.
