Hello dear colleagues,
I have just moved from Spain to Switzerland and I am not sure how to issue an invoice from Switzerland to the European Union. I have some clients from Spain and I don't know if I should add any taxes to my invoice. I know that from an EU to a non-EU country I do not need to add any taxes, but if it is the opposite case how should I deal with it?

Thanks a lot for your help!

So, you need to invoice without any taxes at all. What you need to find out is how to report this to the Swiss tax authorities, and pay the corresponding income taxes. ▲ Collapse
