Dear Members
As always once winter is at the doorstep it is time for the Self-Declaration process - therefore we have now activated the input form on the Collaboration Platform. The Self-Declaration (VQF doc. no. 903.1) must be completed and submitted by 31. January 2025, whether you act on a professional basis (PFI status) or non-professional basis (NPFI status) and even if you should not have any AMLA-files at all. A possible request for an extension of the deadline to submit the Self-Declaration must be filed with VQF by 31. January 2025 as well.
Please note that a reminder fee of CHF 150 plus VAT will be charged in the event of a late submission.
As in previous years, the electronic form for the Self-Declaration is available on the Collaboration Platform on our website at www.vqf.ch in the members' section. Subsequently you have to complete and transmit the Self-Declaration electronically; with this the submission procedure is closed, hence the Self-Declaration is not to be submitted physically.
Please submit possible notification concerning any changes on material facts and other information (of a personnel or structural nature) which formed part of the application for membership either by regular mail or to mutationen@vqf.ch.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you should have any questions. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
Kind regards
VQF
