Recapitulative statement

Use this function to collect and display the values for the Austrian Recapitulative Statement. The output of the calculated data can be printed out or exported as a specifically formatted XML file for upload to the Austrian "Steuer Online" web portal. Access to "Steuer Online" requires a registration and login.

Exported files are current with 2025 regulations.

The data selection is controlled by the company or group of companies by the specified start/end date for the selection. The data is extracted from the main legal ledger, which must be held in Euro.

 The time range can only be a calendar month, a calendar quarter, or a calendar year.

Prerequisites

Refer to the documentation on Implementation.

Screen management

The calculated values from the data extraction are shown on two tabs:

  • "Result" tab: shows the resulting data grouped by EU VAT no. and turnover type.
  • "Documents" tab: for the selected line in the "Result" tab, the underlying documents are shown in this tab with their details.

In addition, the results are shown with a traffic light status indicator. By default, an export is only possible when all entries have a green status. This behavior can be changed by changing the parameter GERRSEXTMP - Temporary journal export (chapter LOC, group GER) to YES and checking the option "Hide invalid" in the header of the screen.
