A VAT-registered entity in the European Union (EU) can generate a periodic list that includes the details of all of the sales transactions with other VAT-registered entities in the EU. This list is referred to as the European Sales List (ESL). For VAT-registered entities in France, you can generate the Déclaration Européenne de Services, or European Declaration of Services (DES), which is similar to the EU sales list. However, the DES report contains only the details about the service item transactions.
Note
You must set up sales tax codes and sales tax groups correctly because they contain information that is included in the DES report.
You can print the DES report or save it as an XML file.
