My Business: Tax Representation in Switzerland – Obligation or Strategic Opportunity?

What is tax representation for my business?

Tax representation allows my foreign business to comply with Swiss VAT requirements. It means appointing a local authorised representative responsible for:

• VAT registration in Switzerland
• Filing tax returns
• Communication with the Federal Tax Administration (FTA)

‍

Is my business concerned?

This obligation applies if my company:

• Provides taxable goods or services in Switzerland
• Has worldwide turnover exceeding CHF 100,000
• Has no headquarters or branch in Switzerland

Common examples:

• Selling digital products to Swiss clients from abroad
• Offering training or occasional services in Switzerland (e.g. conferences, consulting)

‍

Tasks of my company’s tax representative

Once appointed, the tax representative:

• Registers my business with the FTA
• Submits VAT returns
• Responds to tax authority requests
• Ensures deadlines and compliance
