Everything that matters about financial dashboard for photographers in Wilen (TG)
Whether you run a Sàrl, an SA or a sole proprietorship in Wilen (TG), financial dashboard 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 financial dashboard
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 financial dashboard converges on those three pages, in Wilen (TG) too.
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.
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 Wilen (TG)) and internal (closing, general meeting within six months). Mixing them up is the leading cause of delays.
An SME in Wilen (TG) that holds its calendar twelve months straight changes its position: fewer official reminders, easier extensions — and financial dashboard 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 financial dashboard, the golden rule is to discover nothing in January: every uncertainty (doubtful receivable, dispute, unsellable stock) must be identified before the closing date, not after.
Digitalising financial dashboard: what actually works
Security is part of digitalisation: named access, tested backups, encryption of sensitive data. A digital accounting file is protected like a safe — because it is one.
For financial dashboard, migrating history must not block the start: begin on day one of the current financial year and import the history later if needed.
Wilen (TG): what changes, what does not
Working with a fiduciary from Wilen (TG) no longer depends on geography: the documents of a business in Wilen (TG) are shared online, while the canton Thurgau keeps its own deadlines for the tax return.
For a business in Wilen (TG), that means VAT returns identical to anywhere in Switzerland, but a tax return and family allowances governed by the canton Thurgau.
Frequently asked questions
What are the legal obligations for financial dashboard 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 Wilen (TG): federal law applies.
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 Wilen (TG), 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 Wilen (TG) as anywhere.
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 Wilen (TG) as everywhere in Switzerland.
