Context: In August 2021 I began working as a farmhand on a farm in Appenzell Ausserrhoden. I worked there till December 2023, with almost two months breaks from cca. Christmas to February. Whenever I arrived, I went with the farmer to the Gemeinde and I filled out Gesuch Auslanderbewilligung formular and the farmer filled out the other side Arbeitsmarktilche Angaben. When I left for winter, we went again to unregister. I believe that was the only piece of paper that we signed, might have been one or (max) two more, I dont remember. (versicherung,…) I worked for him as an empleyee and not as selbstandig. A week ago I receive a letter from SOVAR, asking me, since in 2021 they had me registered as a selbstandig, to provide them with a Slovenian (where im from) final income tax assessment decision for 2021 in order for them to provide me with a final determination of AHV contribution. Question(s): How should I respond? Should I even respond? I dont want to pay anything, and from what I know, the farmer paid my AHV contibutions for the time, that I was working there. The letter has no date, till wich I am obligated to respond, and was sent through normal mail. And it doesnt reference any law, convencion, legal document, or anything of that sort. I am fixing on responding with through registered mail with a return receipt, telling them that during that time I was employed, asking them for clarification as to why do they have me as selbstandig and why do they need the slovenian final income tax assesment. And asking them to provide me with my IK-Auszug for the said year. Advice would be appreciated greatly. submitted by /u/timetoeasomeslime
