Document background
The Non Commercial Invoice is essential for documenting financial transactions that fall outside the scope of regular business activities in Switzerland. This document type is specifically designed for situations where individuals, non-profit organizations, or other non-commercial entities need to request or record payments while clearly establishing the non-commercial nature of the transaction. It must comply with the Swiss Code of Obligations and VAT regulations, which set specific requirements for invoice contents and format. The document is particularly relevant for private transactions, charitable activities, educational services, and other non-business exchanges where formal payment documentation is needed. The Non Commercial Invoice helps maintain clear records for tax purposes while distinguishing these transactions from regular commercial activities.
