Master data field for new 20 character long VAT registration number of Swiss

We have a requirement to save 20 character long swiss VAT number at Vendor and Customer master data.

We also got below information on the VAT registration number change for Switzerland. 

http://codingthis.com/applications/microsoft-dynamics/new-vat-registration-number-in-switzerland/

Based on the article, it seems that Switzerland is adopting different formats depending on where the business is within the country and the adoption will be phased in over the next two years.

We cannot use LFA1/KNA1- STCEG field as this is reserved only for EU countries and Swiss is not a EU country.

Error" Country CH is not an EC member".

Other Tax fields do not have sufficient length for 20 characters.

I checked on SAP OSS to handle the requirement and did not find anything relevant. 

Can any one suggest how to proceed with this.

Thanks,

I raised a incident to SAP and got below reply:

Please keep the UID Number maintained in STCD 1 only but with the format CHE112954332 (without special characters and suffix HR/MWST, HR or MWST).

Validations will still work fine for the number. You can then extend the report used, to place special characters in between, this has also been the standard practise for other countries where special characters are taken care by reporting.

For suffix, we recommend you create a new tax type under Tax Classification and have 4 tax groups within e.g. HR/MWST, HR or MWST and the reporting can retrive these values to add the correct suffix.

Please confirm if someone already applied it.
