LPP pension reporting deadlines in Fully: rules, deadlines, best practice
Between VAT, social contributions and the year-end close, a Swiss SME juggles dozens of deadlines a year. This page focuses on LPP pension reporting in Fully: what the law requires, what can be automated, and when to delegate.
The Swiss legal frame for LPP pension reporting
Responsibility for the books is personal: in an SA, organising the accounting is one of the board's non-transferable duties (art. 716a CO); in a Sàrl, the managing directors carry the same duty. Outsourcing the execution never transfers that underlying responsibility, including for a company based in Fully.
One simple principle drives LPP pension reporting: 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.
Digitalising LPP pension reporting: what actually works
Artificial intelligence has changed the economics of LPP pension reporting: automatic invoice reading reaches recognition rates that make manual entry marginal, and posting suggestions learn from corrections. The accountant does not disappear — the job shifts from data entry to control and advice.
For an owner in Fully, a dashboard only has value if the data is fresh: automating data entry means, first of all, buying up-to-date information about your own business.
Outsource LPP pension reporting or keep it in-house?
The Swiss fiduciary market is dense and governed by professional practice: industry standards, business secrecy, civil liability. Compare offers on three concrete criteria — exact scope (data entry? closing? payroll? VAT?), a named contact person, and the tools used. It prevents year-end misunderstandings.
A business in Fully can combine the models: internal day-to-day entry, monthly external supervision, closing and taxes with the specialist — LPP pension reporting splits very well.
Salaries and social contributions: the rates to know
Family allowances are financed by the employer through a cantonal compensation fund — rates and amounts vary from canton to canton, including in Fully. They come on top of the federal social insurances and appear on every payslip.
Withholding tax applies to foreign employees without a C permit: the employer deducts tax at the cantonal rate and remits it. The annual salary certificate remains mandatory for all staff — it is the linchpin connecting payroll accounting, tax returns and AHV audits.
Fully: what changes, what does not
Working with a fiduciary from Fully no longer depends on geography: the documents of a business in Fully are shared online, while the canton Valais keeps its own deadlines for the tax return.
For a business in Fully, that means VAT returns identical to anywhere in Switzerland, but a tax return and family allowances governed by the canton Valais.
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 Fully, family allowances follow the canton's rates.
Can LPP pension reporting be automated with AI?
Largely, yes: automatic document reading, posting suggestions, bank reconciliation via QR references and VAT exports. Human approval remains essential — AI prepares, the professional checks. That is exactly how MyFiducia.ai approaches LPP pension reporting.
Does MyFiducia.ai work for a business based in Fully?
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 Fully manages its documents, VAT and exports exactly as anywhere in Switzerland.
What are the legal obligations for LPP pension reporting 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 Fully: federal law applies.
