Limited statutory audit for IT companies in Roggwil (TG) without the stress: how it works

Between VAT, social contributions and the year-end close, a Swiss SME juggles dozens of deadlines a year. This page focuses on limited statutory audit in Roggwil (TG): what the law requires, what can be automated, and when to delegate.

Year-end closing: how the mechanics work

The closing is prepared all year long: a monthly bank reconciliation and accruals tracked as you go turn the year-end into a formality, for businesses in Roggwil (TG) too.

The timetable is tight: accounts drawn up and approved by the general meeting within six months of the year-end. For limited statutory audit, chasing missing documents from January (bank statements, contracts, insurance settlements) avoids the last-minute sprint and auditor reservations.

Outsource limited statutory audit or keep it in-house?

The scope goes down in writing: who enters data, who approves payments, who answers the tax office, who keeps the originals. Every “we'll see” at the start becomes a December misunderstanding — in Roggwil (TG) as elsewhere.

A business in Roggwil (TG) can combine the models: internal day-to-day entry, monthly external supervision, closing and taxes with the specialist — limited statutory audit splits very well.

The Swiss legal frame for limited statutory audit

Three documents summarise the health of a Swiss business: the balance sheet (what it owns), the income statement (what it earns) and the notes (what else you should know). All the work of limited statutory audit converges on those three pages, in Roggwil (TG) too.

Also worth knowing: accounts may be drawn up in the currency most relevant to the business; if that is not the franc, values must additionally be stated in CHF (art. 958d para. 3 CO). Internationally active companies gain books that match their economic reality.

Shareholder current accounts demand strict hygiene: every private withdrawal documented, interest at the rates accepted by the tax administration, and a clean-up at closing.

For limited statutory audit, the right granularity is decisive: enough accounts to steer the business (margins by activity, expenses by nature), few enough that every entry finds its place without hesitation. The VAT accounts (input VAT, VAT due) deserve special care — they are the basis of the annual reconciliation.

Roggwil (TG): what changes, what does not

Roggwil (TG) (postal code 9306, canton Thurgau) applies the same federal rules as the rest of the country: what changes in Roggwil (TG) are the cantonal counterparts — tax administration, compensation office, commercial register.

Federal deadlines do not move in Roggwil (TG): VAT within 60 days, salary declaration in January, 10-year record retention — postal code 9306 changes nothing about those rules, only the sender's address.

Frequently asked questions

What are the current Swiss VAT rates?

Since 1 January 2024: 8.1% (standard), 2.6% (reduced — for example food and medicines) and 3.8% (accommodation). Returns must be filed and paid within 60 days after the period ends (quarterly under the effective method, semi-annually under the net tax rate method). These federal rates apply unchanged in Roggwil (TG).

What is simplified bookkeeping and who can use it?

Sole proprietorships and partnerships under CHF 500,000 of revenue may limit themselves to recording income, expenses and assets (art. 957 para. 2 CO). Once over the threshold — or upon founding a Sàrl or an SA — full accounts with balance sheet, income statement and notes become mandatory. The CHF 500,000 threshold is assessed the same way in Roggwil (TG).

What are the legal obligations for limited statutory audit in Switzerland?

The foundation is the Code of Obligations: proper bookkeeping (art. 957a CO), annual accounts (balance sheet, income statement, notes) and 10-year retention of books and records (art. 958f CO). VAT applies from CHF 100,000 of turnover, and social insurance settlements from the first employee. Nothing is different in Roggwil (TG): federal law applies.

Which documents should be prepared for the year-end closing?

Bank and cash statements at the closing date, the inventory of stock and work in progress, final AHV/LPP/accident settlements, contracts signed or amended during the year, invoices straddling two years and the detail of accruals. With an up-to-date document archive, most of it is already there. The list is identical in Roggwil (TG): the CO dictates it, not the commune.
