VAT Registration & Fiscal Representation in Switzerland
Expand Your Business in Switzerland Fully Compliant, Fully Confident
Do you need VAT registration and fiscal representation in Switzerland? The Geneva Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Services is your trusted partner, supporting you throughout all administrative procedures.
Running a successful international business is an achievement. However, if your worldwide taxable turnover exceeds CHF 100,000 and you supply goods or services in Switzerland, Swiss VAT registration becomes mandatory.
For over 160 years, the CCIG has been committed to supporting the sustainable success of businesses in Switzerland and on international markets. What may appear as an administrative burden is, in reality, a strategic step to securing access to the Swiss market and protecting your business from compliance risks.
The Challenge for Foreign Companies
For companies without a registered office or permanent establishment in Switzerland, navigating Swiss VAT rules can be complex. Regulations vary depending on the nature of your activities, and non-compliance can quickly become costly.
This is where VAT registration combined with fiscal representation makes all the difference.
