Product Update 413: VAT Control Statement (VCS) enhanced (Czech legislation)

In this product update, the VAT Control Statement or VCS feature has been further enhanced to allow users to regenerate the VCS report for the same return period from the VAT Control Statement screen. The following enhancements have been made:

VAT return – page 1

The VAT return – page 1 screen, which allows users to provide mandatory information required in the VCS report, has the following fields enhanced in terms of functionality:

The Financnímu úradu pro / Specializovanému financnímu úradu field now reflects the previous value defined by the user, whereas before the value had to be defined by the user each time the VAT return – page 1 screen was displayed.

Businesses that operate in the Czech Republic can communicate with the tax authorities to have their VCS report validated via two options, namely data box and e-mail. If a company opts to deliver their VCS report via the data box, the data box ID should be filled in the ID datové schránky field via:

· Finance ? VAT ? Statistics ? VAT control statement

· Finance ? VAT ? Statistics ? VAT return ? page1

Note: The ID datové schránky field must contain seven alphanumeric characters for the tax portal to validate the VCS file. For more information, see https://adisepo.mfcr.cz/adistc/adis/idpr_epo/epo2/form/form_uvod.faces

All the fields available in the Právnická osoba: Název právnické osoby section are now made optional.
