QR-bill — Switzerland e-invoicing

Invoicerr does not support Switzerland

No Switzerland data file exists anywhere in this repository — no country policy, no identifiers, no tax system, no transmission channel. Nothing on this page is implemented. It is here so that someone who wants Switzerland support knows what adding it would involve. The countries Invoicerr does cover are listed in the country directory.

Switzerland is outside the EU VAT regime and runs its own invoicing standards. Every Swiss invoice, paper or digital, must carry the Swiss QR-bill payment section, a standard maintained by SIX Interbank Clearing; the old ESR/BVR payment slips are retired. For fully digital invoicing, eBill is the dominant network, run by SIX together with banking partners such as PostFinance.

What supporting Switzerland would involve

System	Swiss QR-bill, the mandatory payment-slip standard, alongside the eBill digital invoicing network
Authority	SIX Interbank Clearing (standard steward) and the Federal Tax Administration (FTA)
Format	A national payment-slip standard (the Swiss QR-bill, with ZUGFeRD as an optional hybrid PDF format). No provider in backend/src/modules/documents/formats/ builds either today.
Transmission	The eBill network, run by SIX and its banking partners. No transport in backend/src/modules/documents/transports/ talks to it today.

Inherited, unverified

Carried over from an earlier research pass in this repository's own history, and never checked against a primary source. Leads, not facts — confirm every line before writing it into a data file.

• QR-bill (the Swiss QR Code) is the only accepted payment-slip standard on Swiss invoices.
• eBill is the leading network for recurring digital billing, such as telecom and utility invoices.
• No clearance model — invoices are not submitted to a tax authority for pre-approval.

Which catalogues a contributor would add

Adding a country is data, not code. Adding a country is the procedure and the contract each file has to satisfy; this is only the shopping list for Switzerland.

• country-policy/data/ch.json — which document actions Switzerland allows. Start here: without this file every action is refused with a 403, naming the country.
• country-identifiers/data/ch.json — which national identifier a party must carry.
• tax/tax-systems/data/ch.json and vat-rates/data/ch.json — the tax kind, and the rate ladder offered on an invoice line.
• correction-routes/data/ch.json — all eleven canonical correction routes, unverified where unresearched, never omitted.
• b2g-routing/data/ch.json — the channel and format a Swiss public buyer requires.
• transports/channel-policy/data/ch.json — whether a channel is legally required of a seller established in Switzerland, and from what date.
• archive/retention/data/ch.json — how long an archived document is kept, and what the duration is counted from.

Add mentions/, content-requirements/, country-fields/, reporting/ and domestic-reverse-charge/ only where the law actually gives them content.

Data alone will not finish the job here: the eBill network is a transmission channel this repository does not implement, and the Swiss QR-bill format has no format provider either. Both are code, not a JSON file — see When a country needs more than a file.

Want Switzerland supported?

Check the open compliance issues first. If there is no issue for Switzerland, open one and name which of the files above you need — a request that names one mechanism is far more actionable than "please add Switzerland".
