Can you elaborate on the laws you mention a bit? I understand that there are requirements for organizations (GebüV and VAT-related laws), but for people? Which documents do you need to store physically as a private individual in Switzerland?

I'm not an attorney, so I can't give you the exact references to laws. Basically you are not obligated to store those documents as a private person, as long as you don't need to show them to a judge during a court case. That's why I'm a bit on the paranoid side, because you never know when you might need a specific document to prove something. In my case I do store all the documents which were signed (e.g. contracts) or are government related.
