Business Templates Switzerland with VAT
Our VAT management templates are included for free in the Banana Accounting Plus program.
The chart of accounts is based on the SME system (Swiss SME chart of accounts - Sterchi, Mattle, Helbing), compliant with the Swiss Code of Obligations (articles 957-963b CO).
VAT Features
All VAT templates include the necessary columns and functions to manage VAT. Calculations and all reports are automated.
To record VAT, simply enter the VAT code in the transaction. The VAT codes table is predefined and updated according to the new 2024 VAT regulations.
At the end of the period, based on transactions with VAT codes, the program calculates the VAT Summary by account, code, and percentage. It generates a paper facsimile of the VAT Report and the XML file for submitting VAT data to the AFC.
For VAT management with the new rates, you can find detailed information on the VAT Management page.
Some features require a subscription to the Advanced plan of Banana Accounting Plus, such as generating the VAT Report facsimile or XML file, using the new Rules, Filter, and Temporary Row Sorting functions. See all features of the Advanced plan.
VAT Accounts in Banana Accounting
The liabilities section includes two specific VAT accounts:
- Account 2201 VAT Report (corresponding to the automatic VAT account). Already configured.
- Account 2200 VAT Due (corresponding to the VAT Treasury account).
However, it is possible to set specific VAT accounts in assets and liabilities, but at the end of the period, various entries are needed to reverse the previous VAT and VAT due into the VAT Treasury account. Therefore, it is recommended to use the default VAT account, **2201 VAT Report**. More details can be found on the page Setting Up VAT Accounts.
Chart of Accounts with VAT on a Cash Basis
The templates for cash-based VAT have customer and supplier sub-ledgers set as Cost and Profit Centers (CC3). VAT is calculated by entering the VAT code at the time of payment and receipt of invoices, with counterpart accounts always being revenue or expense accounts.
Chart of Accounts with VAT on an Accrual Basis
The accrual-based VAT accounting templates have customer and supplier sub-ledgers linked to the balance sheet. All sub-ledger accounts appear in reports and balance sheets. In this case, VAT is calculated by entering the VAT code when issuing an invoice to the customer or receiving an invoice from the supplier.
VAT and Multi-Currency
Among the VAT templates, you can choose models that also manage foreign currencies with VAT.
The chart of accounts includes accounts for exchange rate differences, set in the File > File Properties menu. These templates include the Exchange Rates table, where foreign currencies are set with reference to the base currency, along with exchange rates and opening rates. In the Transactions table, there are columns for viewing amounts in both foreign currency and converted national currency, as well as a column that retrieves the exchange rate entered in the Exchange Rates table.

Doppia: Hotel | PMI | IVA | Contabilità sull'incassato | centri di costo
Doppia: Hotel | PMI | IVA | Contabilità sull'incassato | centri di costoUna buona gestione contabile di un hotel è fondamentale per avere il pieno controllo dei flussi economici, dei reparti e dei costi operativi. Una contabilità chiara e ben organizzata è lo strumento che consente di prendere decisioni strategiche in modo consapevole e tempestivo.
Il piano dei conti è strutturato per soddisfare le esigenze contabili e gestionali specifiche di una struttura alberghiera. Esso consente di classificare e organizzare in modo sistematico tutte le operazioni economico-finanziarie dell'hotel, garantendo una corretta tenuta della contabilità generale e l'elaborazione di report gestionali efficaci.
Automazione e importazione movimenti
Per ottimizzare i tempi di registrazione contabile, è prevista la possibilità di importare i movimenti direttamente dagli estratti conto bancari, postali e delle carte di credito. Ciò riduce gli errori manuali e velocizza il processo di contabilizzazione.
L'utilizzo delle Regole di registrazione automatica durante l'importazione permette di associare automaticamente le contropartite contabili, i codici IVA, i centri di costo e altre informazioni accessorie. Questa funzionalità favorisce l’uniformità delle registrazioni e l’affidabilità dei dati contabili.
Grazie alle funzioni di automazione ci sono vantaggi e benefici non indifferenti:
- Immissione veloce dei dati e più tempo per attività a maggior valore aggiunto
- Riduce il rischio di errori manuali
- Dati sempre aggiornati con visione in tempo reale dello stato finanziario dell’hotel.
Gestione IVA
Il programma gestisce automaticamente l’IVA secondo la normativa svizzera, generando i rendiconti richiesti e i file XML per la trasmissione online. Questo assicura conformità normativa e riduce al minimo il lavoro manuale.
Per utilizzare le estensioni IVA 2024/2025, occorre:
Il Rendiconto IVA Svizzera 2024/2025 viene creato in automatico grazie alle seguenti estensioni, integrate in Banana Contabilità Plus:
Centri di costo e analisi per area operativa
A supporto dell’analisi economica, sono stati definiti appositi centri di costo, che permettono di monitorare la redditività dei singoli reparti o servizi offerti: camere, ristorazione, centro benessere (SPA), eventi, parcheggi, ecc. Ad esempio, è possibile sapere se il centro benessere copre i costi o se il ristorante lavora in perdita, così da intervenire con azioni mirate. Questo consente una valutazione dettagliata delle performance operative e supporta il processo decisionale nella gestione strategica.
Reportistica e bilanci
La reportistica e bilanci in una contabilità alberghiera non sono degli strumenti fiscali, ma dei veri alleati per guidare la gestione, migliorare la redditività e garantire la sostenibilità dell’attività nel tempo.
I bilanci e le principali stampe contabili e fiscali sono completamente automatizzate e vengono generate in modo chiaro e dettagliato. I report includono:
- Stato patrimoniale
- Conto economico
- Centri di costo e profitto
- Rendiconti IVA e liquidazioni periodiche
- Report analitici per gestione e controllo interno
L'automazione delle stampe consente di avere aggiornamenti in tempo reale, migliorando la capacità di monitoraggio e previsione finanziaria.

Flexibility and customization
If you need to customize the chart of accounts, you can easily add new accounts. See our dedicated page on the Complete SME Chart of Accounts, which includes all the accounts and groups specified by the Swiss SME account system (Sterchi, Mattle, Helbing), ensuring perfect integration.
Simplicity and automation
Data entry is fast and intuitive, with an interface similar to Excel. You can import data directly from your bank statements or credit cards, and thanks to the use of Rules, the process becomes fully automated, drastically reducing manual work.
All-round accounting management
Record transactions quickly and automatically, keep balances always updated, and generate professional real-time reports. With our system, you can:
- Create and post invoices simultaneously
- Send reminders easily
- Make cash flow forecasts and manage budgets
- Generate Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Statement, Account Cards and Journal
- With the VAT extension, send VAT report data online to the FTA (only with Advanced plan).
Some features require a subscription to the Banana Accounting Plus Advanced plan, such as generating the sample or XML file for the VAT report, using the new Rules functions, Filter, and temporary Sort Rows. See all the features of the Advanced plan.

Also see Organize accounting files locally, on network and cloud.
Accounts Table
When opening the template, the chart of accounts includes all the accounts to manage your business. You only need to enter:
- In the Accounts table, Account column, your Customer and Supplier accounts complete with address, country code, and language.

- In the Accounts table, Opening column, the initial balance for each account (for assets and liabilities)
At year-end closing, the opening balance is carried forward automatically via Actions > Create new year.
After each transaction, the columns in the Accounts table are updated immediately, giving you a clear and instant view of your financial situation.
The Income Statement has a progressive structure, allowing the profit to be viewed in the following stages:
- Gross operating profit after deducting material and resale goods costs
- Gross operating profit after deducting personnel costs
- Operating result before depreciation, adjustments, financial results, and taxes (EBITDA)
- Operating result before financial results and taxes (EBIT)
- Operating result before taxes (EBT)
- Non-operating result
- Profit or loss before taxes
- Annual profit or loss
Record transactions
In the Transactions table, enter all daily movements. To speed up entry, we recommend using various automation features:
- The Autocomplete data entry feature allows automatic reuse of previously entered data
- The Recurring Transactions feature (under the Actions menu) allows you to store repetitive transactions in a dedicated table
- Importing data from the bank statement retrieves all bank transactions automatically. With the Advanced plan you can use Rules, a new feature that provides full automation of transaction entry.
- You can link each transaction to its digital receipt, and with one click, view the document.
See also Accounting files and digital receipts for better organization of your documents. - Use the Sort Transactions by Date command to order rows by progressive date.
- Use the Print/Preview command to print or export the journal in PDF format.
Transactions with VAT
To record VAT transactions, simply enter the VAT code corresponding to the operation (purchase, sale, international transactions, etc.). Calculations are made automatically, with no need to manually post to the VAT account.
In our templates, all VAT codes are pre-set in compliance with the new 2024 VAT rates.
At the end of the period, you can automatically obtain:
- VAT Summary by account, code, percentage for all transactions (Professional and Advanced plans).
- VAT Sample, Effective Method (Advanced plan only)
- VAT Sample, Flat Rate Method (Advanced plan only)
- XML file for electronic data submission (Advanced plan only).
Import transactions from bank statements with Rules (Advanced plan only)
The new Rules feature is the most advanced automation innovation, highly appreciated by our users. This technology simplifies the management of financial transactions imported from bank, postal, and credit card statements using keywords. Each recurring transaction is automatically linked to a keyword, allowing precise assignment of the counterpart, VAT code, costs, and related segments.
Thanks to this system, during subsequent imports, the software quickly recognizes transactions based on the keywords and automatically completes the entry in the Transactions table. This drastically reduces manual entry, significantly speeds up workflow, and minimizes the chance of errors.

Create your invoices
Integrated invoicing in the accounting file allows invoice data to be recorded in the Transactions table. For each new invoice, insert a new transaction row.
The following settings are essential for creating invoices:
- Enter customer addresses (columns in the Address view)
- Set the customer group
- In the Transactions table, it is essential to enter the invoice number,
You can enter simple invoices on a single row or more complex invoices on multiple rows. Additionally, by enabling the Items columns (from the Tools menu), you can specify quantities, unit, and unit price.

To print the invoice go to Report > Customers > Print Invoice

Beautified Balance Sheet with Groups
To view the Balance Sheet, click on the menu Report > Beautified Balance Sheet with Groups. You can customize the report with the columns you want to see, such as including the budget column or having Reports also by period.
Cash Flow: the lifeblood of your business
Cash flow is central to a company’s ability to operate, maintain solvency with suppliers, and generate income. Anticipating cash availability is essential to avoid mistakes, minimize risks, and optimize strategic decisions, helping you reach your goals successfully.
For optimal business management, it is crucial to have forward-looking insights, forecasting cash flow trends, sales, purchases, and future investments. Knowing whether your business will generate income is important, but forecasting cash availability is even more decisive. Without sufficient liquidity, you may be forced to cut expenses or seek financing.
With Banana Accounting, you can easily create both a cash flow forecast and a financial budget—strategic tools that will help you build a successful future for your business.
