New document was uploaded: Value Added Tax (Federal law about VAT)

The Swiss VAT Act establishes VAT as a general consumption tax based on the net all-phase system with input tax deduction, designed to tax final domestic consumption. It defines the three types of VAT—domestic tax, acquisition tax on services from abroad, and import tax—while setting out fundamental principles such as competitive neutrality and efficiency. The Act provides comprehensive definitions of goods, services, remuneration, and taxable supplies, forming the basis for determining VAT liability.
