VAT declaration
Use this function to collect and display the values for the Austrian advance turn over tax return. The output of the calculated data can either be printed out or exported as XML-file for upload to the Steuer Online web portal for electronic submission.
The data selection is controlled on one side by company or group of companies, on the other side 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 either a calendar month, a calendar quarter or a calendar year. Generating the statement for a calendar year is only for internal reconciliation purposes, it is not an official declaration time range.
