Fiscal representation in Switzerland with respect to VAT 

Under certain conditions, as from 1st January 2018, you will be liable for VAT in Switzerland as from the very first franc if you generate a worldwide turnover of at least CHF 100,000 through taxable benefits.

At that point, the appointment of a tax representative in Switzerland will be compulsory for foreign businesses. To this end, we offer you the following VAT-related services:

• Assessment of your situation with respect to VAT 
• Registration in the Swiss Register of those companies liable to value added tax
• Analysis of your needs
• Declaration and submission of quarterly returns
• Correspondence and negotiations with the Federal Tax Administration
• Preparing the annual agreement

We would be happy to provide you with advice on any administrative and accounting matters.
