Everything that matters about annual closing online in Felben-Wellhausen
Annual closing online in Felben-Wellhausen raises the same questions for most Swiss SME owners: which obligations apply, which deadlines are running, which documents to prepare. This page covers the federal rules in force — without unnecessary jargon.
Year-end closing: how the mechanics work
The CO's accounting principles frame the closing: regularity, prudence and consistency of presentation (art. 958c CO), on the going-concern assumption (art. 958a CO). In practice, that means valuation methods kept constant from one year to the next — and documented whenever they change.
A well-ordered closing file speeds everything up: bank statements at the closing date, a signed inventory, final AHV/LPP/accident settlements, new or amended contracts, and support for the accruals. Annual closing in Felben-Wellhausen then finishes in days, not weeks.
A well-structured SME chart of accounts
The same chart serves three readings: accounting (accuracy), tax (accepted adjustments) and management (margins by activity). Modern software produces all three views without double entry.
For a business in Felben-Wellhausen, the Sterchi/Käfer structure also eases benchmarking: banks and fiduciaries reason on those standard classes to situate an SME's annual closing.
Outsource annual closing or keep it in-house?
A good test before choosing: ask the fiduciary HOW it wants to receive the documents. A precise answer (formats, frequency, platform) says more than any brochure — including in Felben-Wellhausen.
For annual closing, the internal-external duo works when both sides see the same file: same entries, same documents, same deadlines. Misunderstandings are born from parallel copies.
The Swiss legal frame for annual closing
A small business does not mean small obligations: from the first salary or the first VAT return, mistakes get expensive — in Felben-Wellhausen as anywhere.
Late books show from the outside: poorly calibrated tax instalments, provisional filings, slow answers to the bank. Staying current is also a matter of image.
Felben-Wellhausen: what changes, what does not
Sole proprietorship, Sàrl or SA in Felben-Wellhausen: the AHV contact remains the competent compensation office, and taxes follow the scales of the canton Thurgau.
Federal deadlines do not move in Felben-Wellhausen: VAT within 60 days, salary declaration in January, 10-year record retention — postal code 8552 changes nothing about those rules, only the sender's address.
Frequently asked questions
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 Felben-Wellhausen.
How long must records related to annual closing be kept?
Ten years from the end of the financial year concerned (art. 958f CO). Electronic retention is permitted if the integrity and readability of the records are guaranteed — a serious digital archive validly replaces paper binders. A business in Felben-Wellhausen can therefore archive fully digitally.
Does MyFiducia.ai work for a business based in Felben-Wellhausen?
Yes: the platform runs online, the rules applied are federal (VAT, CO, AHV), and the file can be shared with any fiduciary. A business in Felben-Wellhausen manages its documents, VAT and exports exactly as anywhere in Switzerland.
Do you need a fiduciary for annual closing, or can you do it yourself?
Both are defensible. Below CHF 500,000 of revenue, a sole proprietorship may keep simplified accounts itself. As soon as payroll, VAT and a closing with tax stakes are involved, professional support prevents mistakes that cost more than the fees. With a shared platform, the fiduciary does not even need to be in Felben-Wellhausen.
