Clarification of tax liability, e.g. for new companies

Various reasons can lead to VAT liability:

• Starting a new business
• Exceeding the turnover limit of CHF 100,000 from taxable services
• voluntary registration
• Determination that the tax liability already existed at an earlier point in time, but one failed to register properly

Are you in such a situation, or are you unsure whether you are required to register with the VAT register due to your activities? We are happy to answer any questions you may have and help you develop the best possible solution for your business. We will support you in choosing the accounting type and method and, where possible, in optimizing your situation through voluntary taxation of individual sales (avoiding "hidden tax"). Prior clarification and analysis of the situation can be worthwhile in many cases. Things to know: 1. VAT liability does not always entail an additional financial burden. From a business perspective, VAT registration can even make sense and bring financial benefits. 2. When determining VAT liability, you cannot always rely solely on the revenue collected. The obligation to register with the VAT register fundamentally depends on the type of services provided.
