Hello, I am currently filling in my 2025 tax declaration and would be very grateful for some guidance. I am based in Geneva, single, and I work as a UN consultant. My understanding is that, for Swiss tax purposes, I am treated as an employee of an employer who is not required to contribute to Swiss social security (AVS), and I am not self-employed. I have two questions while completing the form: In “Déductions pour frais professionnels - Contr. A” , if I select “Frais forfaitaires” , should I leave the meal and transport expense fields blank? Or can those still be declared separately? Since my employer does not make Swiss social security contributions on my behalf and does not provide coverage through the usual Swiss employer system, should I still declare myself as an employee, or should I indicate something closer to self-employed status in the tax return? I would really appreciate any clarification from someone familiar with Geneva tax declarations, especially for people working with the UN or international organizations. Thank you very much! submitted by /u/Agreeable-Side1791
