LPP pension reporting for architecture firms in Lussy-sur-Morges: the practical guide
LPP pension reporting for architecture firms in Lussy-sur-Morges 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.
The Swiss legal frame for LPP pension reporting
A small business does not mean small obligations: from the first salary or the first VAT return, mistakes get expensive — in Lussy-sur-Morges as anywhere.
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.
Outsource LPP pension reporting 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 LPP pension reporting, a quarterly 30-minute check-in with the fiduciary beats an annual marathon: questions get handled while they are small.
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 Lussy-sur-Morges.
A thirteenth salary, where agreed, is accrued month by month — forget it and December reveals a charge of one-twelfth of the payroll, in Lussy-sur-Morges as everywhere.
Digitalising LPP pension reporting: what actually works
Digitising does not mean hoarding PDFs: without the document-entry link, a digital file is as opaque as a box of archives — true in Lussy-sur-Morges as everywhere.
Electronic archiving is fully recognised: Swiss bookkeeping regulation admits electronic retention of records provided integrity and readability are guaranteed for the 10 years of art. 958f CO. A paper binder is no longer an obligation — provided the archiving system is serious.
Lussy-sur-Morges: what changes, what does not
Working with a fiduciary from Lussy-sur-Morges no longer depends on geography: the documents of a business in Lussy-sur-Morges are shared online, while the canton Vaud keeps its own deadlines for the tax return.
For a business in Lussy-sur-Morges, that means VAT returns identical to anywhere in Switzerland, but a tax return and family allowances governed by the canton Vaud.
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 Lussy-sur-Morges, family allowances follow the canton's rates.
What are the current Swiss VAT rates?
Since 1 January 2024: 8.1% (standard), 2.6% (reduced — for example food and medicines) and 3.8% (accommodation). Returns must be filed and paid within 60 days after the period ends (quarterly under the effective method, semi-annually under the net tax rate method). These federal rates apply unchanged in Lussy-sur-Morges.
Do you need a fiduciary for LPP pension reporting, 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 Lussy-sur-Morges.
