Everything that matters about LPP pension reporting for transport companies in Cama

Delegate, digitalise or do it all yourself? Around LPP pension reporting in Cama, every SME draws its own line. The reference points below — federal law, cantonal practice and lessons from the field — help you place the cursor well.

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 Cama.

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.

Digitalising LPP pension reporting: what actually works

Access for the fiduciary, the auditor and employees is set by roles: view, enter, approve, close. Well-set rights protect the data and speed up collaboration.

An SME in Cama that digitalises gains owner time first: less filing, fewer “where is that receipt?” questions, more attention to the trade — that is the real return of LPP pension reporting.

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.

A clear mandate agreement states who does what by when: document handover, posting deadlines, filing calendar, and responsibility for delays. A shared platform (same data, same document archive) between the company and its fiduciary eliminates binder ping-pong and duplicate entry.

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 Cama. They come on top of the federal social insurances and appear on every payslip.

For LPP pension reporting, the monthly payslip is only the visible part: instalments to the funds, annual settlements and certificates form the real cycle, January to January.

Cama: what changes, what does not

Sole proprietorship, Sàrl or SA in Cama: the AHV contact remains the competent compensation office, and taxes follow the scales of the canton Grisons.

Federal deadlines do not move in Cama: VAT within 60 days, salary declaration in January, 10-year record retention — postal code 6557 changes nothing about those rules, only the sender's address.

Frequently asked questions

How long must records related to LPP pension reporting be kept?

Ten years from the end of the financial year concerned (art. 958f CO). Electronic retention is permitted if the integrity and readability of the records are guaranteed — a serious digital archive validly replaces paper binders. A business in Cama can therefore archive fully digitally.

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 Cama.

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 Cama.

How much does LPP pension reporting cost in Cama?

It depends on document volume, the number of salaries and VAT complexity — no serious figure can be quoted without examining the file. Two levers cut the bill everywhere: digitised, well-filed receipts and software that prepares entries instead of having them re-keyed.
