Everything that matters about bookkeeping for hotels in Biasca
Delegate, digitalise or do it all yourself? Around bookkeeping in Biasca, every SME draws its own line. The reference points below — federal law, cantonal practice and lessons from the field — help you place the cursor well.
The Swiss legal frame for bookkeeping
A small business does not mean small obligations: from the first salary or the first VAT return, mistakes get expensive — in Biasca as anywhere.
Art. 957a CO requires complete, truthful and systematic recording of transactions, each entry backed by a supporting document. For bookkeeping, that means in practice: no movement without a receipt, and an audit trail that can be reconstructed at any time — including during a VAT or AHV inspection.
A Swiss SME's accounting calendar
An accounting calendar only lives if it is shared: owner, in-house bookkeeper and fiduciary must see the same deadlines and the same status — the rule holds for every SME in Biasca.
For bookkeeping, year-end is prepared in October: last invoices, investment decisions, provisions to assess — December is too late to act, January is for recording.
A well-structured SME chart of accounts
Shareholder current accounts demand strict hygiene: every private withdrawal documented, interest at the rates accepted by the tax administration, and a clean-up at closing.
The chart of accounts is also the hinge to VAT: every revenue account carries its rate (8.1%, 2.6%, 3.8% or exempt), every expense account its input-tax right. Set those attributes once in the tool and every subsequent return becomes reliable.
Outsource bookkeeping 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.
A business in Biasca 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.
Biasca: what changes, what does not
Sole proprietorship, Sàrl or SA in Biasca: the AHV contact remains the competent compensation office, and taxes follow the scales of the canton Ticino.
Federal deadlines do not move in Biasca: VAT within 60 days, salary declaration in January, 10-year record retention — postal code 6710 changes nothing about those rules, only the sender's address.
Frequently asked questions
How much does bookkeeping cost in Biasca?
It depends on document volume, the number of salaries and VAT complexity — no serious figure can be quoted without examining the file. Two levers cut the bill everywhere: digitised, well-filed receipts and software that prepares entries instead of having them re-keyed.
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 Biasca, family allowances follow the canton's rates.

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