Is this invoice generator legal to use in Switzerland?+
Yes. Swiss VAT law (MWST/TVA/IVA) requires invoices for any taxable supply, but format is flexible. If you're VAT-registered, include your UID with the MWST suffix (CHE-123.456.789 MWST). KipBill produces compliant PDFs with those fields.
What MWST rate should I use on my invoices?+
Switzerland's standard MWST rate is 8.1% (raised from 7.7% in January 2024). Reduced rate 2.6% (food, non-alcoholic drinks, books, newspapers, medicines). Special accommodation rate 3.8%. Lower rates than most EU countries.
Do I need to register for MWST before issuing invoices in Switzerland?+
VAT registration is mandatory once worldwide turnover exceeds CHF 100,000. Voluntary registration is allowed below threshold. Non-resident suppliers to Switzerland have no threshold if supplying taxable services.
What information must every invoice include in Switzerland?+
Swiss MWST law requires: issuer name, address, UID; customer name and address; date and a unique invoice number; description; net amount; MWST rate and amount per rate; total including MWST. Simplified invoices allowed below CHF 400.
Can I issue invoices in a currency other than CHF?+
Yes. Invoices can be issued in any currency. For MWST purposes, Swiss businesses must convert non-CHF amounts to CHF using the end-of-month or monthly average rate published by the Swiss tax authority (ESTV/AFC).
How long do I have to keep invoice records in Switzerland?+
Swiss accounting law (OR Art. 958f) requires retention of invoices and accounting records for 10 years. Electronic storage is acceptable with proper integrity controls.
