This was my experience too. I thought it was going to be supa difficult to register as a sole trader, but it turned out to be straight forward.

Regarding VAT, you only need to register if your turnover is above 100KCHF and billed to Swiss clients. You do not have to register for VAT if your turover is rerived from outside of Swizerland.

So say you invoice 30.000 francs to Swiss entities and 200.000 francs to Ozzie companies, you won't have to register.

Depending on your situation, the burden of having to manage VAT might not be worth you registering. And you are right, get the advice from a professional.

All true, but by being registered for VAT you can also claim all VAT back on company expenses, such as an expensive car.
