VAT without fear

    The 100,000 threshold

    Below 100,000 CHF of annual revenue, is a choice. Above it, an obligation. Not concerned yet? Read on anyway: the day the threshold approaches, you'll know exactly what to do.

    Net tax rate or effective?

    Two methods: effective — you deduct the on your purchases, more accurate, more work. The — a flat rate on what you collect, radically simple. BeMyTalent handles both; the wizard guides you if you choose simplicity.

    An appointment, not a crisis

    The return is filed per quarter or half-year. If your documents are validated and your bank reconciled, the number is ALREADY ready: open the return, check, export. Ten minutes, not a weekend.

    Other people's money

    Collected sleeps on your account but doesn't belong to you. The report shows it as a debt, continuously — so the return is never a surprise, and the payment never a cash-flow hole.
