The Car Recovery Invoice is an essential document used in Switzerland when vehicle recovery services are provided. It serves multiple purposes: documenting the recovery operation, establishing the legal basis for payment, and meeting regulatory requirements under Swiss law. This document is typically issued when a vehicle requires professional recovery services due to breakdown, accident, or other incidents. The invoice must comply with Swiss Code of Obligations and VAT regulations while including detailed information about the recovery operation, such as location, time, vehicle details, service specifics, and associated costs. It's particularly important for insurance claims processing and maintaining accurate service records. The document should be structured to accommodate various scenarios, from simple roadside recoveries to complex accident situations, while maintaining compliance with Swiss documentation requirements.
