On 1 January 2018 a VAT law change will come into effect in Switzerland. In a nutshell – if your global turnover exceeds CHF 100K you will have to register for Swiss VAT no matter how small your Swiss turnover.

The Swiss VAT law is changing. From 1 January 2018 onwards, any person or business with global turnover of CHF 100’000 or more may be liable to VAT starting from the first franc of turnover in Switzerland.
