Sales VAT Adv. Notif. Card Window

Specifies the information that you want to send to the German tax authorities for sales VAT advance notification. For each notification that you want to send, a new record has to be created. You must enter a start date and a reporting period. You can use the other fields to send special information to the tax authority or to define how the figures that are included in the sales VAT advance notification should be calculated.

General FastTab

The fields on this FastTab describe settings for the sales VAT advance notification, such as the data to be included and the style sheet to use. The transmission status also shows on this FastTab.

The FastTab has the following key fields.

Field	Description
XSL-Filename	Specify the path of the style sheet provided by the tax authorities if you want to be able to view the generated XML documents. For example, this can be C:/Program Files/ElsterFormular/Stylesheet/UStVAT.xsl.
Starting Date	Specify the start date for the sales VAT advance notification period.
Period	Specify if this is the monthly or quarterly sales VAT advance notification.
Incl. VAT Entries (Closing)	Specify the VAT entry type to calculate the tax and base amounts.
Incl. VAT Entries (Period)	Specify the VAT entry period type to calculate the tax and base amounts.
Corrected Notification	Select to indicate that this is a corrected notification.
Transmission successful	Shows if the document has been successfully submitted to the ELSTER online portal.

Communication FastTab

The fields on this FastTab describe contact information.

Additional Information

When you have created and transmitted the sales VAT advance notification document, you can view the XML document. That is why you need to store the style sheet on the computer that you specify in the XSL-Filename field.

After the sales VAT advance notification document is created, all fields in this window except the Description field and the XSL-Filename field can no longer by modified, because they define the content of the XML document. If you have created an XML document and want to create a new XML document for the same period without transmitting the existing document to the tax authority, you must delete the existing XML file and then create the new document.

If you choose to show the sales VAT advance notification, a temporary file is generated and opens in your Internet browser. The temporary file is stored in the folder that you have specified as the temporary folder in the Database Options window.

You can print the temporary file, and you can save it to a different location. This is not the file that you must submit to the tax authority, but you can use it for test purposes or other reasons. If you delete the XML file, the sales VAT advance notification is not deleted because it is stored in Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
