Intrastat and VAT

If you have set your Tax Method in SA Company Setup to Value Added Tax (VAT), you must set up additional table values for Intrastat sales reporting. Intrastat reporting is not supported when you use system tax tables. You must use a third-party tax application to enable Intrastat Reporting.

In Distribution SX.e, you can specify codes and values associated with sales and ordering that are subject to Intrastat reporting for member states of the European Community (EC) and European Union (EU). Intrastat is the system for collecting information and producing statistics on the trade in goods between countries of the EU. Intra-EU trade statistics are compiled from information provided by those businesses required to report Intrastat declarations and estimations.

In Distribution SX.e:

  • In SA Table Code Value Setup, set up Country values. Indicate a Report ESL/Intrastat designation, which is assigned to customers or vendors residing in a country that is part of the European Union (EU).
    • Set the VAT Registration number in SA Company Setup.
    • Then, specify the country and tax registration number in your customer and vendor records.
  • In SA Table Code Value Setup, set up Intrastat Commodity Code values. These values are used to classify your products for Intrastat reporting. Commodity codes are designated as one of two types: net mass or supplementary units, and a value is associated with each when you set up the code. Whether Net Mass or Supplementary Unit is required is dependant on the commodity code used. Establish the codes and then apply them to products in Product Catalog Setup.
  • In SA Table Code Value Setup, set up Intrastat Terms of Delivery values. These values indicate what part of the costs and risks the buyer or seller of goods has agreed to take on as part of the contract of purchase or sale. You may be required to provide delivery terms information based on the total value of dispatches and arrivals. Establish the codes and then apply them to products in Product Catalog Setup.
  • Run the Product Commodity Codes Report to print a listing of all stocked and catalog products that are assigned a commodity code in Product Setup-Intrastat and Product Catalog Setup-Intrastat.

All VAT-registered businesses must report the total value of any goods that are supplied to VAT registered customers in other EU member states, known as dispatches, and the total value of any goods acquired from VAT registered suppliers in other EU member states, known as arrivals.

Currently, Intrastat reporting is not supported by the Distribution SX.esystem.
