E-invoicing for taxi operators in Aarburg: rules, deadlines, best practice
E-invoicing for taxi operators in Aarburg rests on three pillars: federal law that applies across Switzerland, cantonal deadlines worth knowing, and tools that eliminate re-keying. This guide puts it all in order, fact by fact.
Digitalising e-invoicing: 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 Aarburg 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 e-invoicing.
QR-bills and friction-free collections
Since 30 September 2022, the QR-bill has fully replaced the old Swiss payment slips. The Swiss QR Code carries the IBAN (or QR-IBAN), the amount, the debtor and a structured reference: enough to match every incoming payment to its invoice automatically.
For e-invoicing, invoicing fast changes everything: a service billed the week it is delivered gets paid noticeably earlier than a month-end batch invoice.
The Swiss legal frame for e-invoicing
For an owner in Aarburg, the question is never “do we need accounts?” but “at what level of detail?”. The CO sets the floor; the bank, the tax office and the shareholders set the rest.
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 good test before choosing: ask the fiduciary HOW it wants to receive the documents. A precise answer (formats, frequency, platform) says more than any brochure — including in Aarburg.
For e-invoicing, a quarterly 30-minute check-in with the fiduciary beats an annual marathon: questions get handled while they are small.
Aarburg: what changes, what does not
Sole proprietorship, Sàrl or SA in Aarburg: the AHV contact remains the competent compensation office, and taxes follow the scales of the canton Aargau.
For a business in Aarburg, that means VAT returns identical to anywhere in Switzerland, but a tax return and family allowances governed by the canton Aargau.
Frequently asked questions
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 Aarburg: the CO dictates it, not the commune.
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 Aarburg can therefore archive fully digitally.
Does MyFiducia.ai work for a business based in Aarburg?
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 Aarburg manages its documents, VAT and exports exactly as anywhere in Switzerland.
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.
