Switzerland
Voluntary, no mandate yet
Mandate Overview
The mandate
Switzerland operates a fully voluntary e-invoicing regime with no clearance platform and no real-time tax reporting. B2G suppliers can submit structured invoices through the Federal Office for Information Technology (FOITT) using Peppol BIS 3.0, and the Swiss Federal Tax Administration has expressed no intent to mandate B2B structured exchange. The QR-bill standard, mandatory since October 1, 2022 for domestic payment instructions, is operational across the Swiss banking system but is a payment-reference standard, not an invoice format.
