In general, the simple use of the internet for the purpose of transmitting information, results or data is not subject to tax in Switzerland.

However, digital or digitally provided services can be subject to taxation in Switzerland for foreign companies. This is determined by issues such as automation and human involvement, in addition to other conditions.
