FAQ

Switzerland Business FAQs

What is the Swiss MWST rate?

8.1% standard rate since 1 January 2024 (raised from 7.7%). Switzerland also has a 3.8% hotel rate and a 2.6% reduced rate for food, medicine, and books.

When does a Swiss business register for MWST?

When annual taxable turnover exceeds CHF 100,000. Swiss businesses and foreign businesses supplying to Switzerland both follow this rule. The ESTV (Eidgenössische Steuerverwaltung) administers MWST.

How many public holidays are there in Switzerland?

Switzerland has 8–9 national public holidays. Additional cantonal holidays bring totals to 10–15 depending on the canton. Catholic cantons have more religious holidays.

What is standard Zahlungsziel in Switzerland?

Net 30 is standard, though Swiss business culture frequently uses Net 10 with 2% discount (Skonto) for prompt payment. B2B payment terms are governed by cantonal and federal civil law.

Is MWST the same as VAT?

Yes. MWST (Mehrwertsteuer in German), TVA (Taxe sur la valeur ajoutée in French), and IVA (Imposta sul valore aggiunto in Italian) are all the Swiss value-added tax — the same tax, different language abbreviations.

How many Arbeitstage are there in Switzerland in 2026?

Approximately 250–253 depending on canton: 365 minus 104 weekends minus 8–11 Feiertage on weekdays. Use the Switzerland Working Days Calculator for exact counts.
