Introduction

Value-Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax and is payable by the consumer at every stage of production. This includes the stages from raw material to end products. VAT is calculated based on the increased value that is added to the product. This tax is measured based on the difference between the price of the consumer products before taxes and its production cost.  

Fields

You can view the overview with only VAT lines but without the invoice amounts. In order to view how the VAT returns have been assigned, paid and filed, you can group the overview by VAT box, VAT code, VAT box/VAT Code, GL Account, or Return period/VAT box. You can also see in a glance of which VAT codes have not yet linked to VAT boxes and which have been wrongly linked.

The overview also allows you to filter the VAT type that you want to display. To search for VAT, you can define one or more of the following criteria and click Display. The VATs that match the search criteria you have entered are then displayed.
