Freelancers & self-employed
With no employer you coordinate AHV, insurance and taxes yourself – next to client work.
“I know I’m missing something — but I don’t have time.”
Usually stressful
- No employer for AHV, pension, accident cover – you own the admin
- VAT from CHF 100k turnover – quarterly obligations easy to miss
- Mixed personal and business files – and bogus self-employment audit risk
- Upload documents centrally, auto-sort and find them in life areas – plus the dashboard for tasks and deadlines
- Keyword search and OCR to find invoices and receipts quickly
- Use life areas like Work & income, Finance and Taxes for business; keep personal topics in e.g. Family and Housing – plus Guide checklists and life events
When things go wrong
- VAT: fines, retroactive billing and audit exposure
- AHV/AVS gaps: lower pension later and catch-up bills
- Missed deductions or reclassification: thousands in tax and social charges

Quick questions
When am I liable for Swiss VAT?
Switzerland uses the CHF 100,000 rule including nuances (e.g. global turnover). Confirm with a tax or fiduciary professional. ELVIDA helps you collect documents and maintain the deadlines you set – binding decisions stay with you or your advisers.
How does AHV work when I am self-employed?
Contributions and deadlines depend on your legal form and income. ELVIDA helps sort letters and payment dates with reminders – it does not replace social insurance advice.
Why split personal and business documents?
Tax and audits need a clear trail. ELVIDA organises by life areas and supports you with overview and reminders – you remain responsible for correct filings.
Does ELVIDA replace a fiduciary?
No. ELVIDA helps with organisation, deadlines and documents. For annual accounts, VAT filings or legal judgement you work with experts – with less chaos beforehand.
