Description
This report imports withholding tax scales fromdisks provided by the Swiss Office for Economics and automaticallydelimits existing scales.
The following processing types are possible:

• Load a SECO disk into the scale table


• Load a SECO disk into a help file


• Load a help file into the scale table

The program uses the disk to recognize the canton for which the scalesto be imported are valid, and the key date as of which they are valid.If you want to import all the scales on the disk, do not make an entryin the 'Scale' selection parameter. All existing scales of the cantonare processed as follows, depending on their validity periods:

• Start before key date, end before key date

No activity necessary.

• Start before key date, end after key date

The scales are delimited automatically.

• Start on key date, end after key date

The scales are only deleted if the user confirms. If cantons deliveredon several disks are imported, the scales must not be deleted becauseonly the last disk would be imported otherwise.

• Start after key date, end after key date

The scales are deleted.
Note that loading the disks can take several minutes because of the
large volume of data involved.
