Updated on 2 Apr 2026

Phishing emails purporting to be from the Federal Tax Administration (FTA) are currently in circulation. These claim to contain an official notification regarding a refund. Please ignore these emails, do not click on any links they contain, do not disclose any personal data and delete these emails. Further measures can be found on the website of the Federal Office for Cyber Security.

Annual reporting

As of January 1, 2025, companies with an annual turnover of up to CHF 5,005,000 will be able to settle VAT annually upon request. This represents an administrative simplification compared to quarterly or half-yearly settlement. The settlement process can thus be made more efficient.
