E-invoicing fees in St. Moritz explained simply
E-invoicing fees in St. Moritz 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
Digitising does not mean hoarding PDFs: without the document-entry link, a digital file is as opaque as a box of archives — true in St. Moritz as everywhere.
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.
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.
For the debtors of a business in St. Moritz, 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
Three documents summarise the health of a Swiss business: the balance sheet (what it owns), the income statement (what it earns) and the notes (what else you should know). All the work of e-invoicing converges on those three pages, in St. Moritz too.
The annual accounts (art. 958 CO) consist of the balance sheet, the income statement and the notes; they must be drawn up within six months of the year-end so the general meeting can approve them. A delay here cascades into the tax return and the final social insurance settlements.
Outsource e-invoicing or keep it in-house?
Splitting roles clearly avoids duplication: the company captures documents and approves payments; the fiduciary checks postings, closes the year and defends the file before the authorities. Each side does what it does best — and nobody keys the same invoice twice.
In St. Moritz, as everywhere, the right collaboration rhythm follows the activity: monthly for payroll and data entry, quarterly for VAT, yearly for the closing and tax advice.
St. Moritz: what changes, what does not
Sole proprietorship, Sàrl or SA in St. Moritz: the AHV contact remains the competent compensation office, and taxes follow the scales of the canton Grisons.
St. Moritz requires no special bookkeeping: the Code of Obligations applies at postal code 7500 as everywhere else, and a well-kept digital file transfers smoothly to any auditor in the canton.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a limited and an ordinary audit?
The ordinary audit applies to companies exceeding, for two consecutive years, two of three thresholds: CHF 20 million balance sheet total, CHF 40 million revenue, 250 full-time positions. Others fall under the limited audit, and those with no more than ten full-time positions on annual average can opt out with all shareholders' consent. These federal thresholds do not depend on the registered seat — in St. Moritz as anywhere.
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 St. Moritz can therefore archive fully digitally.
Effective VAT method or net tax rate: how to choose?
The effective method deducts actual input VAT and files quarterly; the net tax rate method applies a flat industry rate to turnover, semi-annually, with no separate input VAT deduction. The flat rate suits low-cost structures; as investments grow, the effective method usually wins again. The choice rests on the company's own figures, in St. Moritz as anywhere.
