Fiscal Representation in Switzerland – Obligation or Opportunity?

Foreign businesses making taxable sales or services in Switzerland may be subject to Swiss VAT. In such cases, a fiscal representative in Switzerland is required.

‍

Definition

A fiscal representative acts on behalf of a foreign company towards Swiss tax authorities – handling registration, VAT declarations, and correspondence.

‍

Who Needs One?

You require fiscal representation if you:

• Make taxable sales or services in Switzerland
• Have annual global revenue exceeding CHF 100,000
• Do not have a Swiss company or physical presence

Examples:

• A German software provider sells licences to Swiss customers
• An Austrian firm runs workshops in Lausanne
