Frequently asked questions

Does MyFiducia.ai work for a business based in Veltheim (AG)?

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 Veltheim (AG) manages its documents, VAT and exports exactly as anywhere in Switzerland.
