Tax Reporting Tab of the Tax Codes Settings Form

Use this tab to enter information for tax codes that are used in tax reports for the UK and Belgium.

Tax Report Mapping Grid

The information that you enter in this grid is used to accumulate the base, tax, non-recoverable tax, and recoverable tax total amounts in the correct boxes or grids for the VAT Declaration XML and UK VAT Return tax files that you generate in Accounting > Tax File Generation in the desktop application.

Tax Report Mapping Grid Tools

Field Description
+ Add Box/Grid Numbers Click this option below the grid to insert a new row in the grid. In the row, enter the VAT box or grid number in which the base, tax, non-recoverable, and recoverable total amounts will appear in the tax files that you generate in Tax File Generation.
Select a row in the grid and then click this option at the end of the row to delete the row.

Tax Report Mapping Grid Fields

Make numeric entries in the grid fields.

Important: If you need to enter 0 as the box or grid number for any of the fields in this grid, enter 999 in the field instead of 0. Vantagepoint interprets 999 as 0 for the tax reports. If you enter 0, it will be converted to blank.

For Belgian taxes:

In the Tax Reporting Mapping grid, enter the grid numbers in which the base, tax, and non-recoverable tax total amounts will appear in the Belgium VAT Declaration XML file that you generate in Tax File Generation.

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:

Enter the box numbers in which the base, tax, non-recoverable tax, and recoverable tax total amounts will appear in the UK VAT Return file that you generate in Tax File Generation.

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
Base Amount Enter the box or grid number code for the base amount.
Tax Amount Enter the box or grid number code for the tax amount.
Non-Recoverable Tax Amount Enter the box or grid number code for the non-recoverable tax amount.
Recoverable Tax Amount This field applies only for the UK VAT Return report that is generated in Tax File Generation. If you need to report only the recoverable amount of a non-recoverable tax code, enter the box number for accumulating the recoverable tax amount total.
