Invoices with Swiss VAT (MWST / TVA)
Art. 26 of the Swiss VAT Act asks for your name and place of business with your UID and the MWST suffix, your client's name and place, the date or period of supply, the type and scope of the service, the amount, and the VAT rate and amount. Rates are 8.1% standard, 3.8% for accommodation and 2.6% reduced. Below CHF 100,000 turnover you need not register, and the invoice then shows no VAT.
Labels are available in German, French or English, or bilingual. VAT on invoices in euro or another currency is also shown in Swiss francs. A QR-bill payment part is not available yet.

Frequently asked questions
What must a Swiss invoice show for VAT?
Your name and place of business with your UID and MWST suffix, your client's name and place, the date or period of supply, the type and scope of the service, the amount, and the VAT rate and amount (Art. 26 MWSTG). The checklist tracks each item.
Which VAT rates apply?
8.1% standard, 3.8% for accommodation and 2.6% reduced, chosen per line.
I am not registered for VAT. Can I use it?
Yes. Choose "Nicht MWST-pflichtig": the invoice shows no VAT, as required for unregistered businesses.
Does it make a QR-bill?
Not yet. You can add your IBAN and a payment link; a QR-bill payment part is planned.
Can I issue it in French?
Yes. Choose German, French or English labels, or a bilingual German or French document with English.
Do you store my invoices?
No. Your invoice is sent to our server only to build the preview and the PDF, and the PDF is deleted within an hour. Your business details, draft and recent clients are saved in your own browser so you don't have to type them again; "Clear my data" removes them.
