federal / cantonal


Explanation:
In Switzerland, we pay taxes at Gemeinde (=commune), cantonal and federal level. (Also church taxes if we belong to one of the State churches.) Die Eidgenossenschaft is the Confederation (of States, i.e. cantons).

Our tax returns have two columns, one for federal, the other for cantonal taxes. The allowances differ slightly.
