The file it is deposited asThe brick of packages/formats that writes it, where one exists.

Electronic invoicingThe profile the country imposes, the day it starts, and the text that imposes it.
no profile — no obligation in law

Am 22. September 2026 verpflichtet kein Bundesgesetz Unternehmen zum Austausch strukturierter elektronischer Rechnungen untereinander (B2B). Der Bund verlangt seit 2016 von seinen eigenen Lieferanten bei Aufträgen über CHF 5'000 eine elektronische Rechnung (B2G), was keine B2B-Pflicht begründet. Die von eCH veröffentlichten Standards — eCH-0069 (Inhaltsstandard swissDIGIN für elektronische Rechnungen) und eCH-0217 (Format für die elektronische Übermittlung der MWST-Abrechnung an das ESTV-Portal SuisseTax, keine Rechnungsnorm) — haben nach den eigenen Nutzungsbestimmungen von eCH ausdrücklich nur Empfehlungscharakter.

Free, and operated

Where the open core stops.

The line is operational, not functional. Everything that keeps working on its own is open core; what needs credentials, a certificate or a channel somebody keeps running is the hosted edition.

CH-MWST-ABRdeclaration

Free, for everComputed from the ledger, frozen box by box, filed by hand on the administration’s portal, and what it owes is carried to 2140. The deposit number and the administration’s own words come back into your own database.

OperatedTransmission: the credentials, the certificate and a channel somebody keeps running. The return stays yours.
