VAT declaration for Lithuania (FR0600)

  • مقالة

This article describes how to set up and generate a value-added tax (VAT) declaration for Lithuania in the XML format (FR0600), and how to preview it in Microsoft Excel.

The VAT declaration feature for Lithuania supports filing a VAT return for companies that have multiple VAT registrations and for companies that report as a VAT group in the same system database.

VAT declaration overview

To automatically generate the report, first create enough sales tax codes to keep a separate VAT accounting for each type of operation that's subject to reporting in the VAT declaration for Lithuania. Additionally, in the application-specific parameters of the Electronic reporting (ER) format for the VAT declaration, associate available sales tax transaction attributes (sales tax code, tax classifier) with the lookup result of the Report field lookup lookup field.

In the following table, the Lookup result column shows the lookup result that's preconfigured for a specific VAT declaration field in the VAT declaration format. Use this information to correctly associate tax transaction attributes with the lookup result and then with the field of the VAT declaration.

For more information about how to set up application-specific parameters, see the Set up application-specific parameters for VAT declaration fields section later in this article.

Set up the VAT declaration for Lithuania

These tasks will prepare your Dynamics 365 Finance environment to generate the electronic file for the VAT declaration for Lithuania and preview the VAT amounts in Excel format.

Import ER configurations

Open the Electronic reporting workspace, and import the latest versions of these ER formats under Tax declaration model:

  • VAT Declaration XML (LT)
  • VAT Declaration Excel (LT)

Import Tax declaration model mapping under Tax declaration model, and mark it Default for model mapping.

For more information, see Download ER configurations from the Global repository of Configuration service.

Set up application-specific parameters for VAT declaration fields

To automatically generate the VAT declaration, associate available sales tax transaction attributes (sales tax code, tax classifier) in Finance and lookup results in the ER configuration.

Note

We recommend that you enable the Use application specific parameters from previous versions of ER formats feature in the Feature management workspace. When this feature is enabled, parameters that are configured for an earlier version of an ER format automatically become applicable for a later version of the same format. If this feature isn't enabled, you must explicitly configure application-specific parameters for each format version. The Use application specific parameters from previous versions of ER formats feature is available in the Feature management workspace as of Finance version 10.0.23. For more information about how to set up the parameters of an ER format for each legal entity, see Set up the parameters of an ER format per legal entity.

Follow these steps to define which of the available sales tax transaction attributes (sales tax code, tax classifier) in Finance generates which field of the VAT declaration for Lithuania.

  1. Go to Workspaces > Electronic reporting, and select Reporting configurations.

  2. Select the VAT declaration XML (LT) configuration, and then, on the Action Pane, select Configurations > Application specific parameters setup.

  3. On the Application specific parameters page, on the Lookups FastTab, select Report field lookup.

  4. On the Conditions FastTab, set the following fields to associate the sales tax codes and report fields.

    Field Description
    Lookup result Select the value of the report field. For more information about the values and their assignment to VAT declaration rows, see the VAT declaration overview section earlier in this article.
    Tax code Select the sales tax code to associate with the report field. Posted tax transactions that use the selected sales tax code will be collected in the appropriate declaration box. We recommend that you separate sales tax codes in such a way that one sales tax code generates amounts in only one declaration box.
    Transaction classifier

    If you created enough sales tax codes to determine a declaration box, select *Not blank*. If you didn't create enough sales tax codes so that one sales tax code generates amounts in only one declaration box, you can set up a transaction classifier. The following transaction classifiers are available:

    • Purchase
    • PurchaseExempt (tax-exempt purchase)
    • PurchaseReverseCharge (tax receivable from a purchase reverse charge)
    • Sales
    • SalesExempt (tax-exempt sale)
    • SalesReverseCharge (tax payable from a purchase reverse charge or a sales reverse charge)
    • Use tax

    For each transaction classifier, a classifier for the credit note is also available. For example, one of these classifiers is PurchaseCreditNote (purchase credit note).

    Be sure to create two lines for each sales tax code: one that has the transaction classifier value and one that has the transaction classifier for credit note value.

    Note

    Associate all sales tax codes (or combinations of a sales tax code and a tax classifier) with lookup results. If any combination should not generate values on the VAT declaration, associate it with the Other lookup result.

  5. In the State field, change the value to Completed.

  6. On the Action Pane, select Export to export the settings of the application-specific parameters.

  7. Select the VAT declaration Excel (LT) configuration, and then, on the Action Pane, select Import to import the parameters that you configured for VAT declaration XML (LT).

  8. In the State field, select Completed.

Set up the VAT reporting format to preview amounts in Excel

  1. In the Feature management workspace, find and select the VAT statement format reports feature in the list, and then select Enable now.
  2. Go to Tax > Indirect taxes > Sales tax > Sales tax authorities, and select the tax authority.
  3. In the Report layout field, select Default.
  4. Go to General ledger > Setup > General ledger parameters.
  5. On the Sales tax tab, on the Tax options FastTab, in the VAT statement format mapping field, select the VAT declaration Excel (LT) ER format. This format is printed when you run the Report sales tax for settlement period report. It's also printed when you select Print on the Sales tax payments page.

If you're configuring the VAT declaration for Lithuania in a legal entity that has multiple VAT registrations, follow these steps.

  1. Go to General ledger > Setup > General ledger parameters.
  2. On the Sales tax tab, on the Electronic reporting for countries/regions FastTab, on the line for LTU, select the VAT Declaration Excel (LT) ER format.

Set up electronic messages

Electronic messaging (EM) functionality is provided to maintain the different processes that are used in electronic reporting for different document types. For more information about electronic messages, see Electronic messaging.

Download and import the data package that has example settings for electronic messages

The process of setting up the Electronic messages functionality to generate the VAT declaration for Lithuania in XML format and preview it in Excel has many steps. Because the data of some entities is used in the ER configurations, use a set of predefined values that are delivered in a package of data entities for the related tables. You can extend these settings or create your own.

Note

Some records in the data entities in the package include a link to ER configurations. Before you start to import the data entities package, import ER configurations into Finance.

  1. In Microsoft Dynamics Lifecycle Services, in the Shared asset library, select Data package as the asset type, and then download LT VAT declaration - FR0600 - EM setup v.#. The downloaded file is named LT VAT declaration - FR0600 - EM setup v.#.zip. Always download the latest version of the package that's available in Lifecycle Services.
  2. In Finance, in the Data management workspace, select Import.
  3. On the Import FastTab, in the Group name field, enter a name for the job.
  4. On the Selected entities FastTab, select Add file.
  5. In the Add file dialog box, verify that the Source data format field is set to Package, select Upload and add, and then select the zip file that you downloaded earlier.
  6. Select Close.
  7. After the data entities are uploaded, on the Action Pane, select Import.
  8. Go to Tax > Inquiries and reports > Electronic messages > Electronic messages, and validate the electronic message processing that you imported (LT VAT declaration).

For more information about how you can use the data management framework, see Data management.

Configure electronic messages

  1. Go to Tax > Setup > Electronic messages > Populate records actions.
  2. Select the line for LT Populate VAT return records, and then select Edit query.
  3. Use the filter to specify the settlement periods to include on the report.
  4. If you must report tax transactions from other settlement periods in a different declaration, create a new Populate records action, and select the appropriate settlement periods.

You can specify default values for Deduction percent and Main economic activity parameters of your VAT declaration in additional fields of electronic messages.

  1. Go to Tax > Setup > Electronic messages > Electronic messages processing, and select the LT VAT declaration processing.
  2. On the Message additional fields FastTab, in the DeductionPercent (Kalendorinių metų proporcinis PVM atskaitos procentas) field, define the deduction percent that will be used further in reporting as default value.
  3. On the Message additional fields FastTab, in the MainEconomicActivity (Pagrindinė vykdomos veiklos rūšis) field, define the main economic activity code that will be used further in reporting as default value.
  4. Save your changes.

Set up the registration numbers of the company that's reporting FR0600

The FR0600 form of the VAT declaration in Lithuania includes the following fields to identify the reporting company:

  • Mokesčių mokėtojo identifikacinis numeris (kodas) = Taxpayer's identification number (code) – The identification number (code) of the taxpayer must be entered.
  • PVM mokėtojo kodas = VAT payer's number – The VAT identification number is entered without the "LT" prefix.

Follow these steps to configure the registration numbers of your organization.

  1. Go to Organization administration > Organizations > Legal entities.
  2. Select the legal entity, and then select Registration IDs.
  3. Select or create the address in Lithuania, and then, on the Registration ID FastTab, select Add.
  4. In the Registration type field, select the registration type that's dedicated to Lithuania and that uses the VAT ID registration category.
  5. In the Registration number field, enter the tax number. This value is reported in the "PVM mokėtojo kodas" field of the VAT declaration.
  6. On the General tab, in the Effective field, enter the date when the number becomes effective.
  7. In the Registration type field, select the registration type that's dedicated to Lithuania and that uses the Enterprise ID (COID) registration category.
  8. In the Registration number field, enter the tax number. This value is reported in the "Mokesčių mokėtojo identifikacinis numeris (kodas)" field of the VAT declaration.
  9. On the General tab, in the Effective field, enter the date when the number becomes effective.

For more information about how to set up registration categories and registration types, see Registration IDs.

Follow these steps to define the VAT registration number that EM uses during generation of the VAT declaration for Lithuania.

  1. Go to Tax > Setup > Electronic messages > Electronic messages processing, and select the LT VAT declaration processing.
  2. On the Message additional fields FastTab, in the Tax registration number field, define the VAT registration number that should be used in the VAT declaration for Lithuania.
  3. Save your changes.

If the VAT registration number isn't specified in the Tax registration number additional field of the LT VAT declaration processing, the system retrieves it from the registration ID that's defined in the properties of the legal entity that's associated with the VAT ID registration category.

Preview the VAT declaration in Excel from a sales tax payment

Sales tax payment transactions are produced by the Settle and post sales tax job procedure that settles sales tax balances in the sales tax accounts and offsets them to the sales tax settlement account for a given period. After the Settle and post sales tax job procedure is completed for an interval of the sales tax settlement period, you can generate the VAT declaration in Excel from the Sales tax payments page.

  1. Go to Tax > Inquiries and reports > Sales tax inquiries > Sales tax payments, and select a sales tax payment line.

  3. Review the Excel file that's generated for the selected sales tax payment line.

    Note

    The report is generated only for the selected line of the sales tax payment. If you must generate, for example, a corrective declaration that contains all corrections for the period, or a replacement declaration that contains original data and all corrections, use the Report sales tax for settlement period periodic task.

Generate the electronic file for the VAT declaration from electronic messages

When you use electronic messages to generate the report, you can collect tax data from multiple legal entities. For more information, see the Run the VAT declaration for multiple legal entities section later in this article.
