- A motion was submitted to fully digitalize the Swiss VAT (Mehrwertsteuer) reporting process from end to end.
- Currently, companies must manually enter or upload VAT data to the tax authority’s portal, causing unnecessary bureaucracy and time loss.
- The motion proposes using the eCH 0217 standard and platforms like Swissdec for seamless, automated machine-to-machine data transfer.
- This would reduce administrative burden and costs for companies.
- The motion was submitted by Benoît Gaillard and supported by other parliament members.
