Document background
The Consent Letter For GST Registration is a crucial document required in Switzerland when a business wishes to delegate the responsibility of VAT registration to a professional representative. This document becomes necessary when a business approaches or exceeds the Swiss VAT registration threshold (currently CHF 100,000 for domestic businesses or CHF 150,000 for electronic services from abroad) or opts for voluntary registration. The letter must comply with Swiss federal tax regulations and typically includes detailed information about the business entity, the authorized representative, the scope of authorization, and specific powers granted. It forms part of the official documentation required by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration and may be needed for future reference in VAT-related matters.
