Tax advisory for pharmacies in Lüsslingen-Nennigkofen: what every SME should know
Whether you run a Sàrl, an SA or a sole proprietorship in Lüsslingen-Nennigkofen, tax advisory eventually lands on your desk. Here are the practical reference points — legal basis, deadlines and common pitfalls — to decide with a clear head.
The Swiss legal frame for tax advisory
In Switzerland, the duty to keep accounts stems from art. 957 ff. of the Code of Obligations. Legal entities (Sàrl, SA) and sole proprietorships with at least CHF 500,000 in revenue keep full accounts: balance sheet, income statement and notes. Below that threshold, a simplified record of income, expenses and assets is sufficient.
One simple principle drives tax advisory: every franc in or out must be explainable by a document, an entry and an account. All of Swiss accounting law fits inside that traceability requirement.
Swiss VAT: rates, threshold and filings
Exports, services abroad, acquisition tax: as soon as anything international enters the picture, VAT gets demanding (place of supply, acquisition tax on services). Better to set the rules once with a professional than to correct three financial years.
Also useful for tax advisory: some supplies are excluded from VAT (health, education, property rental) — with no corresponding input VAT right. Qualifying revenues correctly from the start avoids surprises.
Year-end closing: how the mechanics work
The order of operations matters: reconciliations first (bank, cash, receivables, payables), then the closing entries, finally the VAT and AHV consistency checks. Reversing the order means starting over.
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. Tax advisory in Lüsslingen-Nennigkofen then finishes in days, not weeks.
Outsource tax advisory or keep it in-house?
Outsourcing does not exempt you from understanding: an owner who can read the balance sheet and the income statement challenges the fiduciary better — and pays for advice, not re-keying.
For tax advisory, a quarterly 30-minute check-in with the fiduciary beats an annual marathon: questions get handled while they are small.
Lüsslingen-Nennigkofen: what changes, what does not
Sole proprietorship, Sàrl or SA in Lüsslingen-Nennigkofen: the AHV contact remains the competent compensation office, and taxes follow the scales of the canton Solothurn.
For a business in Lüsslingen-Nennigkofen, that means VAT returns identical to anywhere in Switzerland, but a tax return and family allowances governed by the canton Solothurn.
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 Lüsslingen-Nennigkofen.
When must a business register for VAT?
As soon as its worldwide annual turnover reaches CHF 100,000 (CHF 250,000 for non-profit sports or cultural associations). Below that, voluntary registration remains possible and often makes sense to reclaim input VAT on investments. The threshold is federal: it applies in Lüsslingen-Nennigkofen as everywhere in Switzerland.
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 Lüsslingen-Nennigkofen, family allowances follow the canton's rates.
