Consulting and Operational support for VAT management in Switzerland

When a foreign company decides to sell goods or services in Switzerland without establishing a branch, tax representation becomes a crucial regulatory requirement. Beyond the formal obligation, managing Swiss VAT requires meticulous attention and constant monitoring to avoid errors that could result in operational delays or penalties.   With extensive experience in the Swiss market, Trans-Service provides direct and comprehensive support to simplify VAT-related tax operations, ensuring a professional and transparent approach at every stage of the process. 

Targeted solutions for managing VAT in Switzerland

  1. Targeted Consultation and VAT Planning

Every business has unique needs. That’s why our service begins with a tailored consultation to:  

  • Analyze the commercial activities conducted in Switzerland and determine VAT obligations based on the CHF 100,000 annual global revenue threshold.  
  • Plan all necessary fiscal and administrative activities, ensuring a clear and compliant process.  
  1. VAT Registration and Operational Procedures

Trans-Service assists with VAT registration at the Federal Tax Administration (FTA), handling:  

  • Preparation and submission of documentation to obtain a VAT number (referred to as the VAT identification number in Switzerland).  
  • Defining proper procedures for invoice management and application of Swiss VAT rates.  
  • Ensuring compliance with deadlines for initial registration and, if required, submission of financial guarantees.
