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

Various reasons can lead to VAT liability:

• Starting a new business activity
• Exceeding the turnover limit of CHF 100,000 from taxable supplies
• Voluntary registration
• Finding that the tax liability already existed at an earlier point in time, but you failed to register properly

Do you find yourself in such a situation, or are you unsure whether you need to register in the register of VAT payers due to your activities? If so, we will be happy to answer your questions and help you find the best possible solution for your company. We will support you in choosing the type and method of accounting and, if possible, in optimizing the voluntary taxation of individual transactions (avoidance of “taxe occulte”). A preliminary clarification and analysis of the situation can be worthwhile in many cases.

Worth knowing:

1. the obligation to pay VAT does not always mean an additional financial burden. From a business perspective, registering for VAT can even make sense and bring a financial advantage.

2. the clarification of VAT liability cannot always be based solely on the turnover received. The obligation to register for VAT generally depends on the type of services provided.
