Document background
The Work Order Invoice is a essential business document used in Switzerland when billing for completed works or services that were previously agreed upon through a work order. This document type is particularly important in the Swiss business context as it must comply with strict requirements under the Swiss Code of Obligations and Federal VAT Act. It serves multiple purposes: confirming work completion, requesting payment, and maintaining tax compliance. The document should be used when services or works have been completed according to a prior work order, and payment needs to be requested in a formal, legally compliant manner. It typically includes detailed service descriptions, pricing, tax calculations, and payment terms, while also incorporating all mandatory business information required by Swiss authorities. The Work Order Invoice is crucial for maintaining accurate financial records and ensuring smooth business operations while meeting all regulatory requirements.
