Why Switzerland has special rules
Swiss hotels invoice in francs and apply a special VAT rate to accommodation, different from the rate for other services such as food. In many places a tourist tax also applies, which differs by municipality and person. Foreign software is often not prepared for this.
If the invoice does not separate these items cleanly, accounting has to rework them and guests ask questions. A Swiss solution models the rules correctly from the start.
How the system handles it
Prices and invoices run in CHF. For overnight stay, breakfast and other services you store the appropriate VAT rates, shown on the invoice and in reports. Check the current rates with the Federal Tax Administration.
You set up the tourist tax according to your municipality's rules, per person and night, with the usual exemptions. It appears as its own line on the invoice and can be reported for settlement with the municipality.
