Deadlines and filings

Deadlines sits under Money & admin and opens for the owner and members with May approve bookings. The dates come from your company details: legal form, canton, VAT method and the end of your business year. If one is missing, the page names it and links to Settings.

• Next deadline — large, with the days left, the legal basis and where it is filed.
• Date passed — check it was filed — dates of the last 30 days.
• Coming up — by month.
• Dates your canton sets — the tax return date, read off your form.
• Only if it applies to you — dates that depend on something your profile cannot confirm, such as paying wages.

The filters narrow the list: VAT, Tax, Payroll, Year-end, Contracts and Letters.

Each VAT return, tax return, annual accounts, AHV declaration and set of Lohnausweise has a worksheet. Prepare worksheet opens Enti with the brief filled in, in your language. Nothing starts until you press send, and it is billed like any task.

The employee prepares the figures and the file, and is told never to file, pay, sign or send. Once the worksheet exists, the row links to it.

Entumo cannot see what you filed with the authorities, so you tell it with one tap: Mark as filed (VAT, tax return, AHV declaration, Lohnausweise), Mark as paid (federal tax) or Mark as done (accounts, general meeting).

The row moves to Done with who marked it and when, and disappears from every other list: My work, the Monday brief and Enti's overview. Undo brings it back. The mark only records it in Entumo; nothing is filed, paid or sent.

With bexio connected, a VAT period you close in bexio marks its VAT return by itself. To undo that, reopen the period in bexio.

Once a VAT period has ended, its row offers XML for the ESTV portal. Instead of typing every figure into the portal, you build the eCH-0217 file the portal imports:

1. Type the figures from your worksheet. Nothing is pre-filled, and an empty line is not the same as 0.
2. Choose the method, the type of submission and whether you settle on agreed or received payments.
3. Entumo checks the sums the way the ESTV does and names any difference instead of adjusting it.
4. Download the file, upload it in the ESTV portal, check the figures there and submit.

The file is built in your browser; Entumo sends nothing to the ESTV. It covers the effective method only, not the net tax rate method.

Two more kinds of dates join the statutory ones:

• Notice periods — the last day your notice must arrive for each contract in Finance → Contracts.
• Letters with a deadline — open letters from Post with a due date. A Zahlungsbefehl is dated on its objection deadline once its service day is typed.

On the main view you see the soonest five of each; the Contracts and Letters filters show them all. You only see letters you may open.

You do not have to visit the page to stay on time:

• Today across your areas on My work shows the next deadline, the next letter step, a contract notice that is coming up and, near the end of the business year, the year-end folder.
• The Monday brief lists the coming deadlines and the letters due in the next 14 days.
• Enti knows the open deadlines when you ask it about them.

Marked dates leave all of these at once.
