                            *Dear Customers,*  
Starting *January 1, 2025*, there’s a big change for e-commerce sellers shipping to Switzerland. If you sell over *CHF 100,000 annually* to Swiss customers, you’ll need to follow new VAT rules.  
*What’s Changing?*  
1. *Platform Responsibility:* E-commerce platforms (like Amazon) will now handle VAT collection and remittance for sales to Swiss buyers.  
2. *Swiss VAT Registration:* Foreign platforms must register for Swiss VAT and may need a *Swiss fiscal representative*.  
3. *Invoice Requirements:* Invoices must clearly show:  
   - *Shipper:* Foreign seller’s address.  
   - *Importer:* Platform’s name, fiscal representative’s details, and VAT number.  
   - *Recipient:* Swiss buyer’s address.  
   - A note like: *“Sales transaction through [platform name]. VAT collected by the platform.”*  
*What Should You Do?*  
- Ensure your invoices meet the new requirements.  
- Check if your platform is registered for Swiss VAT.  
- If you’re a platform operator, confirm if you need a fiscal representative.  
*Need Help?*
