Calculate a VAT return

Step by step

1. 1Check the return frequency and effective date. When calculating, select the year and then a valid monthly or quarterly period, or the full year for annual filing. The displayed date range follows the saved frequency.
2. 2Does your first filing notice start later? Select First VAT return with a different start date and copy its actual start date. The regular end date stays the same. Review the separately shown excluded or recalculated sources; they are not automatically moved to a later period.
3. 3Open the calculation and review each section’s document type, number, customer or supplier, VAT date and amounts. Documents, document lines and reporting effects are counted separately; the source link opens the document if you have access.
4. 4Review sales and purchases in their own source workflow. An account name alone never determines a return section.
5. 5Compare VAT due, deductible input VAT and the derived balance with your records and external filing environment.
6. 6Record only what you actually submitted externally. Boekhouden does not submit the return electronically to the Tax Administration.
