Delivery Swiss Tax

Applies Swiss VAT rates to delivery fees. Only activates for orders with delivery addresses in Switzerland (CH) or Liechtenstein (LI).

Included in All Preset

Registered automatically by registerAllPlugins() (via registerSwissTaxPlugins() from @unchainedshop/plugins/presets/countries/ch).

Registration

import { pluginRegistry } from '@unchainedshop/core';
import { DeliverySwissTaxPlugin } from '@unchainedshop/plugins/pricing/delivery-swiss-tax';

pluginRegistry.register(DeliverySwissTaxPlugin);

How It Works

1. Checks if the order has a delivery and address in CH/LI
2. Resolves the tax category from delivery provider configuration
3. Falls back to DEFAULT rate (8.1%) if not specified
4. Calculates and adds tax to the delivery fee

Tax Categories

Category	2024+	2018–2023	2011–2017	2001–2010
DEFAULT	8.1%	7.7%	8.0%	7.6%
REDUCED	2.6%	2.5%	2.5%	2.4%
SPECIAL	3.8%	3.7%	3.8%	3.6%

Rate data is shared with the Product Swiss Tax adapter (bundled ch-tax-rates.json, era-based, ESTV-verified; the rate follows the order date).

Configuration

Set the tax category on the delivery provider:

mutation CreateDeliveryProvider {
  createDeliveryProvider(
    deliveryProvider: {
      type: SHIPPING
      adapterKey: "shop.unchained.post"
    }
  ) {
    _id
  }
}

mutation ConfigureDeliveryProvider {
  updateDeliveryProvider(
    deliveryProviderId: "provider-id"
    deliveryProvider: {
      configuration: [
        { key: "swiss-tax-category", value: "default" }
      ]
    }
  ) {
    _id
  }
}

Activation Conditions

The adapter activates when the delivery location is in Switzerland or Liechtenstein. The location is the delivery address, else the billing address, else the country of the order or request, so simulated delivery prices (DeliveryProvider.simulatedPrice) are taxed too, with or without a cart; a price simulated for an order uses the delivery address of the order.
