  • services performed by a non-resident taxable person not registered for VAT purposes in Switzerland, provided that according to Art. 8 para. 1 VAT Law the place of supply is in Switzerland; import of data storage media without market value with all the services and rights included; and supplies of goods by a non-resident taxable person not registered for VAT purposes in Switzerland, provided that the supplies are not subject to import VAT.
