Relaxation of the VAT obligation for associations as of January 1, 2023

The turnover limit for the VAT obligation of non-profit, voluntarily managed sports and cultural associations and non-profit institutions will be increased from Fr. 150 000 to Fr. 250 000 as of January 1, 2023.

 

According to a rough estimate, around 180 associations and non-profit institutions can have themselves deleted from the VAT register because they no longer reach the new turnover limit. This requires a written deregistration to the Federal Tax Administration FTA. Without deregistration, the tax liability continues to apply.

 

Taxable persons can deregister at the end of a tax period (= calendar year). The deregistration must be received by the FTA within 60 days after the end of the tax period.
