What is the Switzerland VAT registration threshold?
The Switzerland VAT registration threshold is CHF 100,000, measured over the global annual turnover. Cross it and you must register for Switzerland VAT with the Federal Tax Administration. You then charge VAT on sales to customers in Switzerland. Below the threshold, registration is optional rather than required.
What's different about Switzerland
Threshold is based on worldwide turnover, not just Swiss sales. If global turnover exceeds CHF 100,000, registration is due upon the first B2C sale in Switzerland.
When do you need to register?
Once your VAT-liable sales into Switzerland pass 100,000 CHF, you must register and charge local VAT on B2C sales.
Deadline: Register once you cross, measured over global annual turnover.
