If your business is located in Switzerland or Liechtenstein, learn how HubSpot handles Value Added Tax (VAT) and how you can update HubSpot with your VAT-related information.
VAT is generally due when goods and/or services are sold and supplied. Services refer to any activities conducted for the benefit of a person or entity that are not a supply of goods. Generally, VAT is invoiced by the supplier of goods or services, and then collected from the customer. The supplier then reports and remits the collected VAT to the tax authorities.
HubSpot is registered for VAT in Switzerland. Therefore, HubSpot is obliged to collect VAT from Switzerland and Liechtenstein based customers.
All HubSpot's services will be considered electronic services that are subject to Swiss VAT at the prevailing rate (see more information here).
If your primary shipping address is either Switzerland or Liechtenstein, then you will be charged Swiss VAT. Learn how to check what your primary company address is set to in HubSpot.
Certain international organisations may be exempt from VAT on their purchases. If you are an exempt international organisation using HubSpot services in an official capacity, please provide HubSpot with a valid exemption certificate. More information can be obtained on the Swiss Tax Authority website.
The VAT that is charged on HubSpot’s services may be refunded to you as an input tax credit through your local VAT return. HubSpot will provide you with a valid VAT invoice to support your VAT claim.
Please note: HubSpot cannot provide tax advice and you should consult your accountant or tax advisor.
