VAT return for the FTA, automated

Prepare your VAT return without a spreadsheet. Axolot aggregates your entries and applies the method you have chosen.

Preview of VAT return

Two methods supported

Method Principle Frequency
Effective VAT collected minus deductible input tax, rate by rate. Quarterly
Net tax rate (NTR) A flat rate granted by the FTA applied to turnover. Semi-annual

How it works

  1. Enter your VAT registration and method in Accounting → Settings.
  2. Keep your books as usual; each document carries its VAT code.
  3. At period end, Axolot aggregates entries and calculates amounts by legal rate.
  4. You get the figures to enter on the official FTA form.
Not yet registered? As long as you stay below the CHF 100'000.- turnover threshold, the engine applies a zero rate and the return stays disabled. You enable it the day you cross the threshold.

The return does not replace official filing with the FTA. It gives you reliable, traceable figures ready to be entered.
