Adjustment to 2024 VAT rates
Following a vote accepted by the Swiss people in 2022, VAT rates will increase from January 1, 2024 in order to finance the AHV/AVS.
The following three rates will be adjusted:
The standard rate (currently 7.7%) will increase to 8.1%.
The reduced rate (currently 2.5%) will increase to 2.6%.
The special rate for accommodation (currently 3.7%) will increase to 3.8%.
These rates can already be used in 2023 if they are for items or services provided in 2024. In addition, if a service straddles December 31, 2023, it should be billed at both rates pro-rated for the duration of the service over each year.
You will find more information on the application modalities on the website of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration.
The latest version of OM Finance (7.1r38) is adapted to the VAT statement for the 3rd quarter of 2023, which has been modified to enable amounts subject to 2024 rates to be declared.
You can now enter the new VAT rates in the Business (in the VAT rates file in the Others menu) and Finance (in the VAT rates file in the Data menu) applications in order to use them when you need them.
If you have any questions, please contact our Support department.
