Why use a fiscal representative in Switzerland?
Switzerland requires all foreign companies — both EU and non-EU — to appoint a fiscal representative. There are no exceptions. We ensure your business meets this mandatory requirement and stays fully compliant.
Switzerland requires all non-Swiss companies to appoint a fiscal representative — both EU and non-EU. This is universal with no exceptions. The representative must have a Swiss domicile and bears joint and several liability.
If your worldwide turnover exceeds CHF 100,000 and you make any taxable supply in Switzerland, you must register for MWST. We handle registration with the Federal Tax Administration (FTA/ESTV).
Switzerland is not in the EU — all goods entering require customs declarations. We obtain your Swiss VAT number and manage your quarterly MWST returns, ensuring correct recovery of import VAT.
Appointing a fiscal representative does not constitute a permanent establishment under Swiss law (Art. 67 Swiss VAT Act). You can operate in Switzerland without setting up a local entity.
