Fiduciary services for SA companies in Kammersrohr: the practical guide
Whether you run a Sàrl, an SA or a sole proprietorship in Kammersrohr, fiduciary services eventually lands on your desk. Here are the practical reference points — legal basis, deadlines and common pitfalls — to decide with a clear head.
The Swiss legal frame for fiduciary services
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 fiduciary services converges on those three pages, in Kammersrohr too.
For fiduciary services, the classic early mistake remains mixing private and business: a dedicated bank account and documented private withdrawals eliminate half the discussions with the tax office.
Digitalising fiduciary services: what actually works
Automation is judged on the exceptions: what happens when the document is unreadable, the supplier unknown, the amount divergent? A good tool isolates those cases and lets a human decide fast — precious for teams in Kammersrohr.
The winning pair for fiduciary services: a single inbox (e-mail, scan, photo) and one simple rule — no document sits more than a few days without a proposed entry.
A Swiss SME's accounting calendar
Three families of deadlines shape the year: federal (VAT within 60 days, salary declaration in January), cantonal (tax return, extensions depending on the canton, including in Kammersrohr) and internal (closing, general meeting within six months). Mixing them up is the leading cause of delays.
An SME in Kammersrohr that holds its calendar twelve months straight changes its position: fewer official reminders, easier extensions — and fiduciary services stops being a source of worry.
Year-end closing: how the mechanics work
Companies exceeding two of three thresholds for two consecutive years — CHF 20 million balance sheet total, CHF 40 million revenue, 250 full-time positions — move to an ordinary audit. Below that, the limited audit applies, and companies with no more than ten full-time positions on annual average can opt out with the consent of all shareholders.
For fiduciary services, a closing checklist reused every year transforms the exercise: same steps, same checks, same documents — only the year changes.
Kammersrohr: what changes, what does not
Working with a fiduciary from Kammersrohr no longer depends on geography: the documents of a business in Kammersrohr are shared online, while the canton Solothurn keeps its own deadlines for the tax return.
For a business in Kammersrohr, that means VAT returns identical to anywhere in Switzerland, but a tax return and family allowances governed by the canton Solothurn.
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 Kammersrohr.
How long must records related to fiduciary services 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 Kammersrohr can therefore archive fully digitally.
Which social contributions does a Swiss employer pay?
AHV/IV/APG: 5.3% employer share (the same is withheld from the employee); unemployment insurance: 1.1% each up to CHF 148,200 a year; occupational pension (LPP) by age and plan (employer at least 50%); occupational accident insurance paid by the employer; family allowances by canton. For an employer in Kammersrohr, family allowances follow the canton's rates.
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 Kammersrohr as anywhere.
