Switzerland accounting compliance requirements

Swiss accounting compliance runs on the GeBüV (Geschäftsbücherverordnung), which sets rules for audit-proof digital archiving of business books, VAT administered by the Federal Tax Administration under the MWSTG, and the Swiss QR-bill payment standard that overlays mandatory tax fields on every invoice.

GeBüV

Business books and records must be stored on immutable media or with documented change tracking, with integrity and authenticity verifiable on request.
