International Notice 1083

### SERVICE INFORMATION - NEW SWITZERLAND VAT REGULATIONS

### What is International Notice 1083?

Applies to all services

From January 1 2019, customers who generate total annual sales to Switzerland in excess of CHF 100,000 will be subject to taxation in Switzerland

Currently, the collection of import tax below CHF 5 is not collected.

The Swiss Federal Tax Administration has determined that this puts Swiss businesses at a commercial disadvantage

UK customers who expect to generate sales above this threshold must register in their own name with the Swiss Federal Tax Administration and have a tax representative with residence or place of business in Switzerland

As a tax registered business in Switzerland, this import tax can be deducted as input tax on their Swiss tax return
