Swiss VAT on coaching lessons

Melzer Labs does not charge MWST on Partner subscription fees today. Lesson and credit-pack invoices are issued in the coach’s name when the coach is VAT-registered and uses Stripe Tax (Pro and Scale).

Platform fees

No MWST on the Roundwork AI subscription today

The operator (Melzer Labs) is not registered for Swiss MWST at this time.

Partner plan fees (Starter, Pro, Scale) are charged by Melzer Labs. The operator does not currently add Swiss MWST on those subscription fees. That can change if the operator becomes MWST-registered; the imprint and Terms would be updated first.

The platform commission on credit-pack payments is likewise not charged with MWST by the operator today. Stripe’s own processing fees are Stripe’s, billed to the connected account.

  • Operator: Melzer Labs, Kreuzlingen, UID CHE-217.593.064.
  • No MWST on Partner subscription fees at this time.

Lesson prices

You set gross prices; you are merchant of record

Credit-pack and lesson charges are yours, not Melzer Labs’.

You set the prices students see. If you are not VAT-registered, you invoice without MWST as you would outside the platform. If you are VAT-registered in Switzerland, Roundwork AI can help split net and MWST at checkout — from Pro or Scale.

Students never pay more than the displayed gross price. Stripe Tax splits that gross into net + MWST and issues the invoice in your name.

  • You are merchant of record for credit packs and lessons.
  • Displayed pack price is the gross the student pays.
  • Tax settings live under Manage → Payments (Pro and above).

Stripe Tax

Invoices in your name from Pro

VAT-registered Swiss coaches on Pro or Scale can enable Stripe Tax on the connected account.

Requires Pro or Scale. Enable the tax toggle in Payments and complete tax registration in your Stripe Connect dashboard. Stripe Tax reports the tax; you remain responsible for your MWST filings.

Stripe Tax service fees are billed to your Stripe account (you bear them), separate from the platform commission.

  • Pro or Scale required for MWST invoicing on the platform.
  • Invoice in your name, not Roundwork AI’s.
  • Stripe Tax fees are yours, on top of platform commission.

Questions about MWST

Does Roundwork AI add VAT to my coaching prices?

No. You set the gross pack price. If Stripe Tax is on, that gross is split into net + MWST; the student still pays the same displayed amount.

Who appears on the student invoice?

You do, when Stripe Tax is enabled — you are merchant of record. Roundwork AI is not the seller of the lesson.

Is the monthly software plan inclusive of MWST?

The operator does not currently charge MWST on Partner subscription fees. Treat that as the live product fact, not a forever guarantee.

Can Starter coaches use Stripe Tax?

MWST invoicing on the platform requires Pro or Scale. Starter partners set prices themselves and handle VAT outside that Stripe Tax flow.

Set tax when you are VAT-registered

Start on a 14-day trial, pick Pro when you need Stripe Tax, and complete registration in your Stripe Express dashboard.
