E-invoicing pricing in Trub explained simply

Between VAT, social contributions and the year-end close, a Swiss SME juggles dozens of deadlines a year. This page focuses on e-invoicing in Trub: what the law requires, what can be automated, and when to delegate.

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.

For e-invoicing, migrating history must not block the start: begin on day one of the current financial year and import the history later if needed.

Outsource e-invoicing 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 business in Trub is no longer limited to fiduciaries in its canton: with a shared online platform, collaboration works remotely, documents and entries visible to both sides in real time. The choice widens to all of Switzerland — competence becomes the criterion again, not the postcode.

QR-bills and friction-free collections

Supplier invoices benefit from the same standard: the QR code is read on receipt, the payment is staged in e-banking with the desired due date, and the expense entry is proposed with the correct VAT. The purchase-payment-posting chain takes three moves.

For the debtors of a business in Trub, nothing changes on the payer's side: scan the code, confirm, pay. On the e-invoicing side, everything changes: the collection entry proposes itself, the receivables ledger updates continuously and reminders go out on exact balances.

The Swiss legal frame for e-invoicing

A small business does not mean small obligations: from the first salary or the first VAT return, mistakes get expensive — in Trub 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.

Trub: what changes, what does not

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

Federal deadlines do not move in Trub: VAT within 60 days, salary declaration in January, 10-year record retention — postal code 3556 changes nothing about those rules, only the sender's address.

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 Trub.

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 Trub too.

Does MyFiducia.ai work for a business based in Trub?

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 Trub manages its documents, VAT and exports exactly as anywhere in Switzerland.

When must a business register for VAT?

As soon as its worldwide annual turnover reaches CHF 100,000 (CHF 250,000 for non-profit sports or cultural associations). Below that, voluntary registration remains possible and often makes sense to reclaim input VAT on investments. The threshold is federal: it applies in Trub as everywhere in Switzerland.
