Financial accounting: Submit VAT statements electronically

The F536 "Create VAT statement" programme guides you step by step through the VAT settlement process and automates the transfer postings - from v2026 with an extended range of functions and now in the Browser Edition.

As a basis, the accounts for automatic VAT postings must be set up once in the F6312 "Company" programme on the tax number. Any number of sales or input tax accounts can be defined. 
 

The desired process can be selected in the start screen of F536 "Create VAT statement".

The tax number and period to be settled are then proposed.

The 'Create VAT run' process prepares the verification, settlement and form reports step by step before the transfer proposal follows. The fast forward function takes you directly to the rebooking proposal.

The "Transfer VAT" step proposes the transfer amounts for the defined tax accounts and simulates the balance progression balance display at the end of the VAT period. The suggestions can be manually overridden if necessary.

Any (rounding) differences between the posted and calculated VAT are documented and can also be automatically reposted or overridden.

The settlement settings show which files will be generated and available for download during final settlement. You can choose whether VAT should be converted and any difference written off. The account statement can be attached to the transfer as booking document.

Once the VAT run has been successfully created, the xml file for the FTA online portal in particular can be downloaded and submitted manually. In addition, the VAT files (verification, statement and form) can be downloaded. The files are also automatically stored in the Archive / Dossier manager. To check the entries made, you can display the entries or the account statement directly.
