Record a VAT return
Retain exactly what was calculated and what you actually submitted externally.
Record as submitted is a local registration. The button sends nothing to the Tax Administration and does not record a payment.
Step by step
- 1Review the exact and proposed whole-euro amount for each section.
- 2Enter a different submitted amount only when it matches the external return. Explain all deviations once at the bottom of the return.
- 3Enter the actual external submission date and, if useful, the payment reference.
- 4Choose Record as submitted. Boekhouden retains the calculation, sources, proposals and submitted amounts separately.
- 5Where needed, Boekhouden creates one balanced journal entry through the explicitly mapped VAT-return and rounding accounts.
What is on the screen?
- Exact amount
- Proposed and submitted whole euros
- Explanation of deviations
- Submission date and payment reference
What happens next?
The recorded position remains traceable in append-only history. A nil position is recorded without an unnecessary journal entry.
