Value added tax (VAT) is one of the most important sources of government income, both in Switzerland and around the world.
VAT is also constantly subject to change as the economy evolves. Digitalisation and automation have massively accelerated this process. VAT is a self-assessment tax so taxpayers are responsible for implementing the relevant provisions correctly, and for analysing the impact of provisions on their company and implementing them accordingly if the provisions should change.

VAT reviews using modern data analytics
- Administering VAT is extremely challenging, since determining the correct tax depends on various different data providers. Purchases, sales, legal departments and of course IT departments have a significant influence on VAT and its correct accounting.
- Carrying out a regular review of VAT in your company ensures that any mistakes are detected at an early stage and risks are minimised, but any opportunities are also identified and can be realised.
- From the VAT health check to a full system audit – the use of modern data analytics also makes it possible to analyse and evaluate large amounts of data and transactions.
Support with VAT checks by the FTA
- We will be happy to assist you in the event of a VAT check by the FTA.
- Careful preparation as well as careful provision of data and information are essential in making sure that a VAT check runs smoothly.
- We discuss any difficult issues with the VAT inspector and try to find a solution before the completion of the check.
- And if the result of a VAT check is unsatisfactory, we will also support you in lodging an appeal – if necessary up to the Federal Supreme Court.
