A Swiss invoice must contain certain mandatory fields. In transport, services often consist of multiple line items. Here is the line item logic for the most common cases:
Taxi and passenger transport
| Item | Unit | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Base fare (trip) | Flat or CHF/km | CHF 8.00 pick-up + CHF 3.50/km |
| Waiting time | CHF/15 min. | CHF 12.00/15 min. |
| Night surcharge | % or flat | +20% after 10 PM |
| Weekend/holiday surcharge | % or flat | +25% Sat/Sun |
| Airport flat rate | Flat | CHF 15.00 |
Service period: Date and time of the trip must always be stated.
Courier and delivery service
| Item | Unit | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Base delivery | Flat (zone) | CHF 18.00 city area |
| Express surcharge | % or flat | +CHF 25.00 same-day |
| Weight surcharge | CHF/kg over limit | CHF 2.50/kg from 10 kg |
| Recipient waiting time | CHF/15 min. | CHF 10.00/15 min. |
Moving company
| Item | Unit | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Labour hours | CHF/hour/person | CHF 65.00/h × 3 persons |
| Vehicle | CHF/day or km | CHF 180.00/day van |
| Materials (boxes) | CHF/item | CHF 4.50/box |
| Packing materials | CHF/roll | CHF 12.00/stretch film roll |
| Furniture lift | Flat | CHF 120.00 |

Common questions about invoicing in transport
How do I write an invoice as a taxi driver in Switzerland?
A taxi invoice in Switzerland needs: your name/company name, address, invoice date, service date (date/time of the trip), description of the service (start and destination or distance in km), amount, VAT disclosure (if VAT registered) and IBAN with Swiss QR code for easy payment. With Magic Heidi you create this invoice in 30 seconds — directly on your smartphone.
What must a courier service invoice in Switzerland include?
Mandatory fields on a Swiss courier invoice: invoice number, invoice date, service date (delivery date), recipient and sender address, detailed service description (e.g. express delivery Zurich–Bern, 2.3 kg), unit prices per item, total amount, VAT if applicable, payment deadline and bank details with QR code.
How do I invoice waiting time and surcharges?
List waiting time and surcharges as separate line items: e.g. 'Waiting time 30 min. at CHF 12.00 = CHF 24.00' or 'Night surcharge 20% on CHF 45.00 = CHF 9.00'. State each item with quantity, unit, unit price and total price. Magic Heidi allows as many line items as needed per invoice — surcharges and flat rates can be added easily.
How do I record expenses like fuel and parking?
With Magic Heidi, photograph the receipt directly after filling up or parking. The AI automatically recognises the amount, date, category and supplier — no manual entry. At the end of the year all your deductible vehicle expenses are documented without gaps and can be directly included in your tax return. More at AI Expense Scanning.
How do I convert a quote to an invoice as a moving company?
With Magic Heidi, first create a quote with all planned items (labour hours, vehicle, materials). After the move is complete, convert the quote to an invoice with one click — client data, items and prices are carried over automatically. You can still make adjustments (e.g. more boxes used) before sending. More on the quote feature at Quotes.
