E-invoicing for law firms in Wilen (TG) without the stress: how it works
Delegate, digitalise or do it all yourself? Around e-invoicing in Wilen (TG), 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.
Digitalising e-invoicing: 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 Wilen (TG) as everywhere.
For an owner in Wilen (TG), 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.
The Swiss legal frame for e-invoicing
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.
Art. 957a CO requires complete, truthful and systematic recording of transactions, each entry backed by a supporting document. For e-invoicing, that means in practice: no movement without a receipt, and an audit trail that can be reconstructed at any time — including during a VAT or AHV inspection.
Outsource e-invoicing or keep it in-house?
A fiduciary's cost depends first on the quality of the data received: digitised, filed, reconciled documents are processed fast; a box of loose receipts is billed by the hour. Improving the internal preparation of e-invoicing lowers fees more surely than any negotiation.
A business in Wilen (TG) can combine the models: internal day-to-day entry, monthly external supervision, closing and taxes with the specialist — e-invoicing splits very well.
QR-bills and friction-free collections
Clear payment terms, a visible due date, exact details: half of late payments come from ambiguous invoices, not bad payers — the finding holds in Wilen (TG) too.
For e-invoicing, the share of collections matched automatically is a metric worth watching: when it drops, it is almost always a matter of misused references.
Wilen (TG): what changes, what does not
Working with a fiduciary from Wilen (TG) no longer depends on geography: the documents of a business in Wilen (TG) are shared online, while the canton Thurgau keeps its own deadlines for the tax return.
Wilen (TG) requires no special bookkeeping: the Code of Obligations applies at postal code 9535 as everywhere else, and a well-kept digital file transfers smoothly to any auditor in the canton.
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 Wilen (TG).
Can e-invoicing 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 e-invoicing.
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 Wilen (TG) too.
Which documents should be prepared for the year-end closing?
Bank and cash statements at the closing date, the inventory of stock and work in progress, final AHV/LPP/accident settlements, contracts signed or amended during the year, invoices straddling two years and the detail of accruals. With an up-to-date document archive, most of it is already there. The list is identical in Wilen (TG): the CO dictates it, not the commune.
