Invoice scanning for construction companies in Fulenbach: the practical guide

Invoice scanning for construction companies in Fulenbach raises the same questions for most Swiss SME owners: which obligations apply, which deadlines are running, which documents to prepare. This page covers the federal rules in force — without unnecessary jargon.

Digitalising invoice scanning: 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 Fulenbach as everywhere.

For invoice scanning, 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.

A business in Fulenbach can collect by QR-bill even without sophisticated software: what matters is that every incoming payment finds its invoice, manually or automatically.

The Swiss legal frame for invoice scanning

AHV audits and VAT audits follow the same logic: start from the documents, trace to the entries, check consistency. A business in Fulenbach with a clean audit trail sails through these exercises.

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 invoice scanning run entirely on digital tools — no paper binder is required.

Outsource invoice scanning or keep it in-house?

Responsibility stays with the client: the fiduciary executes with care, but the signed accounts bind the company. Understanding what you sign is not optional.

A business in Fulenbach 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.

Fulenbach: what changes, what does not

Working with a fiduciary from Fulenbach no longer depends on geography: the documents of a business in Fulenbach are shared online, while the canton Solothurn keeps its own deadlines for the tax return.

For a business in Fulenbach, that means VAT returns identical to anywhere in Switzerland, but a tax return and family allowances governed by the canton Solothurn.

Frequently asked questions

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

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

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 Fulenbach, family allowances follow the canton's rates.

What are the legal obligations for invoice scanning in Switzerland?

The foundation is the Code of Obligations: proper bookkeeping (art. 957a CO), annual accounts (balance sheet, income statement, notes) and 10-year retention of books and records (art. 958f CO). VAT applies from CHF 100,000 of turnover, and social insurance settlements from the first employee. Nothing is different in Fulenbach: federal law applies.

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 Fulenbach: the CO dictates it, not the commune.
