6 December 2024 – Swissmedic has announced the procedure for the annual assessment of the supervisory levy in accordance with the Ordinance on the Supervisory Levy to the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products (Heilmittel-Aufsichtsabgabeverordnung). The levy is calculated based on the factory gate price of medicinal and transplant products sold in Switzerland, at a rate of 6.5 per thousand of the factory gate price. The calculation of the levy relies on a self-declaration, which must be submitted in PDF format via email by 24 January 2025. A self-declaration is also required for zero sales in 2024.

The form must include the total sales of medicinal and transplant products at factory gate prices. Depending on the amount of the previous year's levy, different documentation is required: For a levy of less than CHF 90,000, sales statistics must be provided; for a levy of more than CHF 90,000, a confirmation from the auditing firm is required, which may be included as part of the annual financial audit.
