Annual accounts for the self-employed in Roveredo (GR) explained simply
Swiss accounting law (art. 957 ff. of the Code of Obligations) sets a precise frame, yet day-to-day practice often stays fuzzy. This guide walks through what actually matters for a business based in Roveredo (GR).
Year-end closing: how the mechanics work
Companies exceeding two of three thresholds for two consecutive years — CHF 20 million balance sheet total, CHF 40 million revenue, 250 full-time positions — move to an ordinary audit. Below that, the limited audit applies, and companies with no more than ten full-time positions on annual average can opt out with the consent of all shareholders.
A company in Roveredo (GR) that presents clean, punctual annual accounts gains credibility — with its bank, its suppliers and the tax administration.
The Swiss legal frame for annual accounts
AHV audits and VAT audits follow the same logic: start from the documents, trace to the entries, check consistency. A business in Roveredo (GR) with a clean audit trail sails through these exercises.
The good news: the Swiss frame is stable and predictable. Structure annual accounts once — chart of accounts, document flow, calendar — and the same organisation pays off for years.
A well-structured SME chart of accounts
The test of a good chart of accounts is a single question: can the owner find the margins in three clicks? If not, the chart serves the tax office but not the business — even in Roveredo (GR).
For a business in Roveredo (GR), the Sterchi/Käfer structure also eases benchmarking: banks and fiduciaries reason on those standard classes to situate an SME's annual accounts.
Outsource annual accounts or keep it in-house?
Outsourcing annual accounts to a fiduciary frees up time and secures compliance; keeping it in-house preserves a continuous view and costs less in fees. The best answer is often hybrid: the company captures and digitises as it goes, the fiduciary supervises, closes the books and represents the company before the authorities.
For annual accounts, a quarterly 30-minute check-in with the fiduciary beats an annual marathon: questions get handled while they are small.
Roveredo (GR): what changes, what does not
Roveredo (GR) (postal code 6535, canton Grisons) applies the same federal rules as the rest of the country: what changes in Roveredo (GR) are the cantonal counterparts — tax administration, compensation office, commercial register.
For a business in Roveredo (GR), that means VAT returns identical to anywhere in Switzerland, but a tax return and family allowances governed by the canton Grisons.
Frequently asked questions
Which social contributions does a Swiss employer pay?
AHV/IV/APG: 5.3% employer share (the same is withheld from the employee); unemployment insurance: 1.1% each up to CHF 148,200 a year; occupational pension (LPP) by age and plan (employer at least 50%); occupational accident insurance paid by the employer; family allowances by canton. For an employer in Roveredo (GR), family allowances follow the canton's rates.
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 Roveredo (GR).
