This is where we come in. With our expertise and experience, we support internationally active Swiss companies or foreign companies operating in Switzerland in the legally compliant handling of VAT. If desired, we can also take care of all dealings with the authorities - in other words, an all-round carefree package when it comes to VAT.

Representation by a Swiss tax advisor is mandatory.
As fiscal representative, we basically assume all rights and obligations of the foreign company. In particular, the company assumes the obligation to file all tax returns and other (statistical) declarations on time and to pay the resulting taxes.
A tax representative is also required if a foreign company wants to reclaim VAT paid in Switzerland (input tax refund).
