Whether you're expanding abroad from Switzerland or landing there as a global company, Light keeps every entity on one ledger.
Swiss standards
Report under the Code of Obligations (OR) — and Swiss GAAP FER where it applies — side by side with group standards via multibook.
MWST
Standard 8.1%, reduced 2.6%, and the 3.8% accommodation rate applied via tax codes as transactions post.
QR-bill
Pay and get paid with Swiss QR-bills — scanned, matched, and reconciled automatically against the ledger.
Swiss banking
Connect Swiss bank accounts via host-to-host integration (ISO 20022 camt and pain files) or bank feeds — CHF, EUR, and multi-currency accounts reconcile automatically.
MWST, from invoice to the FTA
Light handles Swiss VAT in the ledger — rates applied at posting, returns built continuously, acquisition tax covered.
The Swiss VAT return is built continuously from posted transactions, every figure traceable to underlying entries — review, approve, and file to the Federal Tax Administration without re-keying.
Bezugsteuer on services purchased from abroad is handled automatically — both sides of the entry posted and reflected in the right boxes of the return.
Switzerland isn't in the EU, but your Swiss entity consolidates like every other one — same ledger, same close, CHF translated in real time.
Compliant with how Switzerland audits
Swiss statutory requirements are built into the ledger, not bolted on.
ISO 20022 native
camt statements in, pain payment files out — the standard Swiss banks run on.
Multi-currency by default
CHF books with EUR, USD, and any other currency revalued automatically.
Audit-ready ledger
Immutable postings and complete traceability from financial statements to source documents.
One platform, every country you operate in
Switzerland is one of the many countries Light supports out of the box — same ledger, same close process, local requirements handled per entity.
