Starting January 1, 2025, Switzerland’s VAT reform will make the platform rather than the merchant responsible for VAT obligations under a new “deemed supplier” rule. All mail-order platforms facilitating customer orders for delivery into Switzerland (ex. Amazon) — with an annual turnover of 100,000 CHF or more — will need to register with the Swiss Federal Tax Administration and comply with VAT regulations. While this change targets platforms, US merchants have been required since 2019 to register for a Swiss VAT ID if they sell more than 100,000 CHF in low-value goods in a calendar year. Passport’s Seller of Record program allows brands to use our tax ID to clear shipments in Switzerland, ensuring compliance with these local regulations and eliminating the need to register for a VAT ID when shipping with Passport.
