You may be required to register for Swiss VAT, even if your Swiss turnover is below CHF 100\u2019000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\">This rule is often misunderstood. In our practice, we have observed for many years that many foreign companies believe that the CHF 100\u2019000 threshold applies only to turnover generated in Switzerland. In reality, it is in principle assessed on the relevant worldwide annual turnover.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> a foreign company generates significant turnover in its home country and only CHF 20\u2019000 in Switzerland. Even with Swiss turnover under CHF 100\u2019000, it may be liable for Swiss VAT if its relevant worldwide turnover exceeds CHF 100\u2019000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\">My Swiss Company supports you in analysing your situation, VAT registration, and acts as your VAT fiscal representative in Switzerland to manage your reporting obligations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"tva-tester anim\" data-result=\"idle\" id=\"tvaTester\">\n<div class=\"tva-tester-head\">\n<span class=\"tva-tester-tag\">Free tool &middot; Instant estimate<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"tva-tester-title\">Are you liable for <em>Swiss VAT<\/em>?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"tva-tester-sub\">Enter your worldwide annual turnover and the portion generated in Switzerland.

This obligation has been in force since 1 January 2018.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"question\">\n<h3>What is the Swiss VAT registration threshold?<\/h3>\n<p>The threshold is <strong>CHF 100&#8217;000 of annual worldwide turnover<\/strong> generated by taxable supplies, as soon as part of it is generated in Switzerland. For marketplaces and e-commerce platforms, specific rules have applied since 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"question\">\n<h3>What are the Swiss VAT rates?<\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>standard rate is 8.1%<\/strong>, the <strong>reduced rate (foodstuffs, medicines, books, newspapers) is 2.6%<\/strong>, and the <strong>special accommodation rate is 3.8%<\/strong>. Exports are exempt with a right to deduct.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"question\">\n<h3>How much does a VAT fiscal representative in Switzerland cost?<\/h3>\n<p>A My Swiss Company all-in-one offer: <strong>VAT Essentials<\/strong> CHF 3&#8217;000\/year excl. VAT including FTA registration, tax notification address, quarterly VAT returns, VAT recovery, FOCBS import monitoring, FTA\/FOCBS audit assistance, regularisation and deregistration. On-request option: <strong>posting of personnel<\/strong> (SECO procedures, CLAs, Swiss minimum wages). No commitment beyond 12 months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"question\">\n<h3>How long does it take to obtain a Swiss VAT number?<\/h3>\n<p>The average lead time between submission of a complete file to the FTA and receipt of the <strong>UID\/VAT number<\/strong> is <strong>3 to 6 weeks<\/strong>. My Swiss Company SA prepares the file and provides follow-up to minimise delays.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"question\">\n<h3>Can a foreign company recover VAT paid in Switzerland?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, under certain conditions. <strong>Registered<\/strong> foreign companies can deduct input VAT (VAT paid on their purchases and imports) via their quarterly VAT returns. <strong>Non-registered<\/strong> companies can apply for an annual refund through the dedicated procedure with the FTA.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"question\">\n<h3>What happens in the event of a VAT audit by the FTA?<\/h3>\n<p>The FTA may carry out VAT audits on past financial years (up to 5 years). My Swiss Company SA assists the company throughout the audit: preparation of documents, representation before the FTA, review of tax assessment decisions, preparation and submission of appeal procedures if necessary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"question\">\n<h3>How do you regularise a non-compliant VAT situation?<\/h3>\n<p>If your company should have registered but did not, My Swiss Company offers an <strong>in-depth analysis<\/strong> of the situation, manages <strong>retroactive registration<\/strong> with the FTA, prepares corrective returns and negotiates with the authorities to minimise penalties. The sooner it is regularised, the less severe the sanctions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"question\">\n<h3>What to do in the event of cessation of activity in Switzerland?<\/h3>\n<p>When a foreign company ceases its activities in Switzerland or no longer meets the conditions for registration, it must request its <strong>deregistration<\/strong> from VAT. My Swiss Company assesses the situation, prepares the final returns, manages deregistration with the FTA and follows up on any refunds and guarantees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"question\">\n<h3>VAT fiscal representative and customs (FOCBS): is it the same service?<\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>fiscal representative<\/strong> covers VAT with the FTA. For import operations, the <strong>FOCBS<\/strong> (Federal Office for Customs and Border Security) is the competent authority. My Swiss Company intervenes for both: opening a <strong>CCP<\/strong> account (centralised customs procedure), assistance with definitive and temporary import operations, appeals against customs assessment decisions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"question\">\n<h3>Can you voluntarily register for VAT even if you are below the threshold?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. <strong>Voluntary registration<\/strong> is possible even if your turnover is below CHF 100&#8217;000. It is attractive if your activity generates significant input VAT (imports, Swiss expenses) that you wish to recover. My Swiss Company analyses the opportunity on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"question\">\n<h3>What is the difference between fiscal representation and VAT representation?<\/h3>\n<p>In Switzerland, the more common term is <strong>VAT fiscal representation<\/strong> (singular, designating the complete service of representation before the FTA for VAT obligations). It is the same concept as the &#8220;accredited fiscal representative&#8221; known in France or elsewhere. The only difference lies in the specific Swiss obligations: quarterly VAT returns, 8.1% rate, returns under Swiss VAT Act (LTVA).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_id=&#8221;contact&#8221;
