Country-aware checks

  • Tax terminology: MWST / TVA / IVA (VAT)
  • Business ID label: MWST-Nummer (UID)
  • Swiss VAT Act Article 26 requires an invoice to identify the supplier, recipient, and supply. It normally includes supplier name, location, taxable-person registration number; recipient name and location; supply date or period if different; nature, object, and extent of supply; consideration; and the applicable tax rate and tax amount.
  • Swiss business books and vouchers are generally preserved through the absolute VAT limitation period, described by the FTA as ten years after the tax period; records connected with immovable property are kept for twenty years, with possible extensions while limitation remains open.
  • Paper, scanned-paper and electronic invoices are treated equivalently when the ordinary bookkeeping principles establish origin and integrity and the record can be made readable. The FTA does not require a qualified electronic signature for VAT records. This generator does not establish those controls for the user's wider accounting system.
