Sàrl incorporation digitalisation in Felben-Wellhausen: the practical guide
Whether you run a Sàrl, an SA or a sole proprietorship in Felben-Wellhausen, Sàrl incorporation eventually lands on your desk. Here are the practical reference points — legal basis, deadlines and common pitfalls — to decide with a clear head.
Choosing the structure: Sàrl, SA or sole proprietorship
The choice of legal form turns on three axes: liability (limited to capital for Sàrl and SA, unlimited for the sole trader), taxation (economic double taxation of company profit and dividends versus direct income taxation) and pensions (the employee of their own Sàrl is subject to mandatory LPP; the self-employed insure voluntarily).
Incorporating in Felben-Wellhausen opens the same toolbox: banks, funds, fiduciaries and online tools work everywhere — the choice of seat is strategic, not technical, for Sàrl incorporation.
Salaries and social contributions: the rates to know
A Swiss salary reads in three columns: gross, employee social deductions, employer contributions. Confusing them distorts cost prices — and quotes from businesses in Felben-Wellhausen.
For Sàrl incorporation, the monthly payslip is only the visible part: instalments to the funds, annual settlements and certificates form the real cycle, January to January.
The Swiss legal frame for Sàrl incorporation
For an owner in Felben-Wellhausen, the question is never “do we need accounts?” but “at what level of detail?”. The CO sets the floor; the bank, the tax office and the shareholders set the rest.
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.
Swiss VAT: rates, threshold and filings
A VAT return is prepared, not endured: clean VAT accounts, one code per rate and a monthly variance check make the deadline trivial — for registered businesses in Felben-Wellhausen too.
Returns are filed quarterly (effective method) or twice a year (net tax rate method). Either way the rule is identical: file and pay within 60 days after the end of the period. An annual reconciliation with the accounts is required — this is where sloppy data entry gets expensive.
Felben-Wellhausen: what changes, what does not
Working with a fiduciary from Felben-Wellhausen no longer depends on geography: the documents of a business in Felben-Wellhausen are shared online, while the canton Thurgau keeps its own deadlines for the tax return.
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
When is entry in the commercial register mandatory?
A Sàrl and an SA only come into existence with their registration. A sole proprietorship must register from CHF 100,000 of annual revenue; below that, registration stays voluntary but adds credibility and protects the business name. Registration goes through the canton's commercial register office — for Felben-Wellhausen too.
Effective VAT method or net tax rate: how to choose?
The effective method deducts actual input VAT and files quarterly; the net tax rate method applies a flat industry rate to turnover, semi-annually, with no separate input VAT deduction. The flat rate suits low-cost structures; as investments grow, the effective method usually wins again. The choice rests on the company's own figures, in Felben-Wellhausen as anywhere.
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 Felben-Wellhausen as everywhere in Switzerland.
What is the difference between a limited and an ordinary audit?
The ordinary audit applies to companies exceeding, for two consecutive years, two of three thresholds: CHF 20 million balance sheet total, CHF 40 million revenue, 250 full-time positions. Others fall under the limited audit, and those with no more than ten full-time positions on annual average can opt out with all shareholders' consent. These federal thresholds do not depend on the registered seat — in Felben-Wellhausen as anywhere.
