Invoicing in Switzerland
A business registered in Switzerland charges VAT at a standard rate of 8.1%, invoices in CHF, and issues documents under names and numbering rules that are specific to Switzerland. DocsOrigin carries all of that as registry data, so choosing Switzerland once configures the tax, the document set, the numbering and the layout together.
Invoicing in Switzerland is free forever with DocsOrigin: every document type, every export, no card and no trial.

How reliable is this figure
Graded high: this rate has been checked against a tax-authority or official source. It is still your responsibility to confirm it before you rely on it.
Whatever the grade, your own setting always wins — a rate you enter overrides the registry everywhere, including on documents already dated in the past.

Tax identifier
On a document issued in Switzerland the identifier is labelled UID / MWST. It is printed in the header of every tax document, isolated left-to-right so it reads correctly in any interface language.
Expected format
^CHE-?\d{3}\.?\d{3}\.?\d{3}( ?MWST)?$
DocsOrigin checks this identifier's structure as you type — a wrong number on an issued document cannot be corrected by editing it.
Numbering
Documents in Switzerland are expected to run in an unbroken sequence. DocsOrigin allocates the number at the moment of issue — never earlier — so a draft that is abandoned does not burn a number and leave a gap you have to explain.
Prefix, padding and yearly reset are configurable per document type, and the series is kept separately for each type.
How Switzerland writes dates and money
Set the country and these stop being settings you have to think about. The examples below are rendered by the same formatter the documents use.
- Date
- 21.09.2026
- Amount
- CHF 12'345.67
- Currency
- CHF
- Minor units
- 2
CHF is written with 2 decimal places, and every amount is stored as a whole number of minor units. ⛔ Money never touches floating point.
A worked example in Switzerland
Three lines, priced identically everywhere, run through the real tax engine with the Switzerland registry entry applied. This is what the document looks like there.

Invoicing in Switzerland — questions
What tax rate do I charge in Switzerland?
The standard VAT rate recorded for Switzerland is 8.1%. Reduced rates may apply to particular supplies, and your own setting always overrides ours.
Which document do I issue to a customer in Switzerland?
The document set recognised in Switzerland is listed above, under the names used locally. For a paid sale the usual document is Vergi faturası, and a mistake on an issued document is corrected with a credit note rather than an edit.
Does DocsOrigin cost anything in Switzerland?
No. DocsOrigin is free forever for businesses in Switzerland as everywhere else: no subscription, no card, no trial, no per-document fee and no export fee. Optional professional services are the only thing that is ever charged for, and they are quoted per project.
What if the rate for Switzerland is wrong or changes?
Set your own rate in the business settings and it overrides the registry immediately, for new documents and for any date. Rates are applied by document date, so an old document keeps the rate that applied when it was issued.
Also billing in CHF
The currency is shared, but the tax, the document names and the numbering rules are not. Each of these has its own entry.
Issue your first Switzerland document
Choose Switzerland once. The tax, the document names, the numbering, the date order and the currency format are configured together, and it costs nothing.
