Tax representative

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).
