What is the VAT threshold in Switzerland?
CHF 100,000 of turnover a year, sales in Switzerland and abroad, leaving out services excluded from VAT (art. 10 of the VAT Act). For a non-profit, volunteer-run sports or cultural association, or a public-interest institution: CHF 250,000.
What do I do when I reach the threshold?
Notify the Swiss Federal Tax Administration in writing within 30 days (art. 66 of the VAT Act). You then receive a VAT number and charge VAT.
Can I register without reaching the threshold?
Yes, that is voluntary registration. It lets you recover the VAT paid on your purchases, but you must then charge VAT and file returns. Talk to your accountant.
Are my figures kept?
No. They are used for the answer, then forgotten.
