The electronic VAT declaration for Germany

This functionality is specific for Germany.

You can set up, prepare, and process the electronic VAT declaration required in Germany. The result of this procedure is an XML declaration file that adheres to the electronic VAT declaration requirements defined by the authorities in Germany, more specifically, the ‘Vorsteueranmeldung’ which is part of the ‘Elster’ electronic VAT declaration.

Important!

The VAT must have been finally declared up to and including the period that precedes the first period of the combined declaration. Otherwise, not-yet-declared data from previous periods can be included in the declaration.

The selected VAT declaration lines

If you use the Select Tax Declaration Lines command in the Tax Declarations (tfgld1625m000) session to add the VAT declaration lines automatically to the VAT declaration, LN sets the status of the selected finalized tax transactions to Selected for Declaration, and enters the tax declaration ID in the Tax Declaration Number field of the tax transaction in the Tax Analysis (tfgld110) table.

If you submit the VAT declaration in the Tax Declarations (tfgld1625m000) session, LN sets the status of the finalized tax transactions that are included in the declaration to Submitted.
