Refund of Swiss VAT to foreigners – Switzerland

Do you have expenses for entrepreneurial activities in Switzerland as a recipient of services with a registered office, domicile, or permanent establishment outside Switzerland, and would you like a VAT refund?

The legal basis for VAT refunds can be found in Art. 107, s. 1, b of the Swiss VAT Act and to art. 151 to 156 of the VAT Ordinance (OTVA).

The Federal Administrative Court has just confirmed the practice of the AFC concerning the content of the certificate required for the reimbursement of Swiss VAT paid by foreign companies.

What should the certificate issued by the foreign authority contain?

To be entitled to reimbursement, a foreign company must, among other things, prove to the Swiss tax authorities (AFC) that it has the status of the company in the country in which it is domiciled, or in which it has its headquarters or a permanent establishment (see art 151, paragraph 1, letter d, OTVA).

The certificate issued by the foreign tax authority must be valid for the reimbursement period (calendar year).

Insofar as reciprocity is granted, and the country has a VAT system (see list of these countries on the AFC website), it is essential that the certificate confirms that the applicant is registered with the register of persons liable for VAT during the period for which the VAT refund is requested, or indicates the date from which the applicant is entered in the register of persons subject to VAT.

Insofar as reciprocity is granted, and the country does not have a VAT system (see list of these countries on the AFC website), it is essential that the company certificate confirm the applicant’s status as an entrepreneur during the period for which the VAT refund is requested, or indicates the date from which the applicant has the status of the contractor.

Attention, if the above conditions are not met, the AFC will not be able to process the request, nor refund the Swiss VAT!

Rights Of Homebuyers under – The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016

Rights Of Homebuyers under IBC – The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (“IBC”), as originally enacted, did not provide adequate protection and recognition of the interests of homebuyers in real estate projects. While the Homebuyers are vital stakeholders in real estate projects, the IBC, as initially crafted, did not protect them. This is because they were treated only as ‘other creditors’, not at par with financial and operational creditors, thus they were not only unable to start proceedings under the IBC but had no statutory voting rights in the Committee of Creditors.

Maharashtra AAR – 18% GST payable on PV DC cables

The Maharashtra Authority of Advance Ruling (AAR), consisting of Rajiv Magoo and T.R. Ramnani, has ruled that 18% GST is payable on PV DC cables.

The applicant is in the business of manufacturing and supplying solar cables, commonly known as photo-voltaic DC cables (PVDC cables) under various brand names. The cables are made from copper conductors with cross-linked polyolefin (XLPO) insulation and are used between solar modules and inverters in a photovoltaic system.

The applicant supplies cables to its customers for the commissioning and stationing of solar power generating systems (SPGS). The cables connect a solar panel or array with inverters only for the purpose of carrying electricity between solar panels and inverters. The cables are exclusively used by manufacturers of SPGS, Procurement, Construction Company (EPC Company), for setting up a solar power plant as inputs for transmitting direct current from a PV module in SPGS. The cables are specifically designed and tailor-made for solar power projects. Thus, the cables have restricted applications and are used in a photovoltaic system only for the generation and transmission of solar energy.

The applicant has sought an advance ruling on the issue in respect of GST rates on PV DC Cables manufactured and supplied by Leoni Cable Solutions (India) Pvt Ltd to its customers who are into the business of manufacturing solar power generating systems or EPC companies setting up a solar power plant.

The AAR noted that the PV DC cables manufactured and supplied by the applicant to its customers would be classified under Entry number 395 of Schedule III of Notification No. 1/2017-Central Tax (Rate) (as amended) dated June 28, 2017, and liable to GST at 18%.
