If you want your value to be read by MVT controller when you submit the form and you don't what to deal with hidden inputs. What you can do is add value attribute to your checkbox and set it to true or false.

MVT will not recognize viewModel property myCheckbox as true here

but will if you add

Script that does it:

$(document).on("click", "[type='checkbox']", function(e) {
        if (this.checked) {
            $(this).attr("value", "true");
        } else {
            $(this).attr("value","false");}
    });
