Everything that matters about e-invoicing for physiotherapy practices in Dornach
Delegate, digitalise or do it all yourself? Around e-invoicing in Dornach, 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
The classic digitalisation traps are avoidable: scanning without quality control (unreadable records), stacking disconnected tools (double entry in disguise), or neglecting access rights. One single flow from document to entry, with clear roles, beats five shiny apps.
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.
QR-bills and friction-free collections
Reminders work best graduated: a neutral first reminder, a firm second, then formal notice — each generated from exact balances, never from memory.
Reference discipline remains: an invoice issued without a structured reference — or paid by a client who truncates it — becomes a manual case again. Coaching recurring clients and keeping your own outgoing payments clean keeps the automation rate at the top.
The Swiss legal frame for e-invoicing
Whether a business sits in Dornach or elsewhere in Switzerland, the same federal law applies — one of the strengths of the Swiss system for e-invoicing. Cantonal differences concentrate on taxation (rates, filing deadlines); bookkeeping itself follows art. 957 ff. CO everywhere.
The law also settles the form: accounts may be kept in a national language or in English, on paper or electronically (art. 957a para. 5 CO). That pragmatism lets e-invoicing run entirely on digital tools — no paper binder is required.
Outsource e-invoicing or keep it in-house?
Outsourcing e-invoicing to a fiduciary frees up time and secures compliance; keeping it in-house preserves a continuous view and costs less in fees. The best answer is often hybrid: the company captures and digitises as it goes, the fiduciary supervises, closes the books and represents the company before the authorities.
A business in Dornach can combine the models: internal day-to-day entry, monthly external supervision, closing and taxes with the specialist — e-invoicing splits very well.
Dornach: what changes, what does not
Dornach (postal code 4143, canton Solothurn) applies the same federal rules as the rest of the country: what changes in Dornach are the cantonal counterparts — tax administration, compensation office, commercial register.
Federal deadlines do not move in Dornach: VAT within 60 days, salary declaration in January, 10-year record retention — postal code 4143 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 Dornach too.
Does MyFiducia.ai work for a business based in Dornach?
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 Dornach manages its documents, VAT and exports exactly as anywhere in Switzerland.
How long must records related to e-invoicing 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 Dornach can therefore archive fully digitally.
Do you need a fiduciary for e-invoicing, 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 Dornach.
