Your questions, in practice · Switzerland

Can hotel VAT be recovered?

Tax on business accommodation can be recoverable with a valid invoice, an eligible taxable activity and compliance with local rules. Separate private use, meals and other services. If the company has no recovery entitlement, the tax remains part of the accommodation cost.
