To prepare the electronic VAT and European Sales Listing declaration

This functionality is specific for Portugal.

To prepare the combined tax and sales listing declaration, take the following steps:

  1. In the Zusammenfassende Meldung verarbeiten (tccom7270m000) session, simulate generation of the sales listing. Enter the following details:

    • Select the Simulation check box
    • Clear the Beträge mit Wechselkursen des Erklärenden neu berechnen check box
    • Leave the Bezeichnung field empty

    You must leave the Bezeichnung field empty because otherwise, LN recalculates the sales listing amounts, which can cause a mismatch with the net amounts declared for intra-community sales in the VAT declaration part. This can result in a blocking error.

  2. In the Steuererklärungsvorlage (tfgld1620m000) session, on the appropriate menu, click USt-Erklärungen to start the USt-Erklärung (tfgld1625m000) session.
  3. On the appropriate menu of the USt-Erklärung (tfgld1625m000) session, click USt-Erklärungspositionen auswählen. LN automatically adds the VAT declaration lines to the VAT declaration.
  4. In the USt-Erklärung (tfgld1625m000) session, on the appropriate menu, click Datei anzeigen to create a non-final VAT declaration ASCII file. The ASCII file is displayed in a Microsoft Notepad window. Save the file, and then open the same file in the Portuguese VAT declaration HTML application (IVA.html).
  5. If the VAT declaration HTML application detects errors in the manually entered fields, you can correct these on the USt-Positionen nach Steuererklärungsvorlage (tfgld1121m000) of the Steuererklärungsvorlage (tfgld1620m000) session. You can correct errors in VAT numbers on the sales listing in the Zusammenfassende Meldung (VK-Liste) (tccom7570m000) session.
  6. Repeat Steps 3 to 5 until the HTML application does not detect any blocking errors.
  7. To approve the VAT declaration, in the USt-Erklärung (tfgld1625m000) session, on the appropriate menu, click Genehmigen.
  8. To transfer the VAT declaration, in the USt-Erklärung (tfgld1625m000) session, on the appropriate menu, click USt-Erklärung übertragen.
  9. To submit the VAT declaration, in the USt-Erklärung (tfgld1625m000) session, on the appropriate menu, click USt-Erklärung einreichen.
  10. Submit the created ASCII file to the tax authorities. You must have entered the file name and the path in the tax declaration master header in the Steuererklärungsvorlage (tfgld1620m000) session.
  11. To reprint the VAT/ESL declaration without recalculating the declared amounts, in the USt-Erklärung (tfgld1625m000) session, on the appropriate menu, click Datei anzeigen.
