Tax Report Mapping Grid

The information that you enter on this tab is used to calculate taxes for tax reporting files, such as the VAT Declaration XML, that you generate in Accounting > Tax File Generation, in the desktop application.

For Belgian taxes:

Specify the grid numbers that are associated with a tax code. This enables the base amount, tax amount, and non-recoverable tax amount to be calculated correctly in the VAT Declaration XML file.

For example, some tax codes need only the base amount in a single grid number and the tax amount in a single grid number. You would enter these two grid numbers into the respective columns of one row. If a tax code needs the base amount entered into grid numbers 81 and 86 and you must also enter their tax amount into grid numbers 55 and 59, you would enter two rows in the grid.

For UK taxes:

Specify the box numbers that are associated with a tax code. This enables the base amount, tax amount, and non-recoverable tax amount to be calculated correctly in the UK VAT Detail report.

For example, some tax codes need only the base amount in a single box number and the tax amount in a single box number. You would enter these two box number amounts into the respective columns of one grid row. If a tax code needs the base amount entered into box numbers 6 and 7 and you must also enter their tax amount into box numbers 1 and 2, you would enter two rows in the grid.

Field Description
+Add Box/Grid Numbers Click this option to insert a new row in the grid and add VAT box or grid number information. In each row, enter the box/grid number in which the base amount, tax amount, or non- recoverable amount will appear. If you need to enter 0 as the box/grid number for the base amount, tax amount, or non-recoverable tax amount, enter 999 in the Base Amount, Tax Amount, or Non-Recoverable Tax Amount field in the grid. Vantagepoint interprets 999 as 0 for the tax reports.
