EU Statistics

This module lets you extract the EU trade figures, which are to be reported to tax authorities when your annual trade within the union reaches the EU thresholds.

You can produce your reports on layouts that correspond to official EU forms or on diskette to both the EU Sales List System and Intrastat.

The sales list system is an instrument that the tax authorities in the member states use to control the settlement of tax on imports from other members. Companies who sell items to tax-registered customers in other EU member states must report these sales on a quarterly basis.

Intrastat is a set of statistics that show which types of items are sold within the EU. Companies who import and export for more than a given amount each year must report which items they have traded and in which countries.

This section includes:

• List System
• Intrastat
• Report Basis

(From the Introduction)

The introduction of the European Union has made it necessary to keep comprehensive records of trade within the Union. The old tariff documents have been replaced by a new statistics system.

This introduction describes in general terms the reports to the EU Sales List System and Intrastat. Detailed instructions are available at local tax offices.
