Viewing the VAT Return Submission History

The System Notes tab of the VAT form stores a copy of each exported file and a PDF of the submitted or final VAT return. The exported file can be downloaded and a copy of the submitted/final VAT form can be printed.

The submission history shows the following:

Date – Date of VAT return generation
User – Name of the user who generated the VAT return
Date From – Submitted period start date
Date To – Submitted period end date
Status link (available for the U.K. only) – Indicates the status of the submission (success or failure), and opens the VAT Online Submitted Periods record.
Type (available for the Czechia and Ireland only) – Indicates whether the file is an original (the first submission for the period), an amendment (correction), or an additional (supplementary) return.
File Name link (not available for U.K.) – Downloads the CSV, XML, or DAT file of the submitted VAT return for the period. The file name differentiates reports for flagged and unflagged tax periods. Reports with flagged tax periods have ‘Final’ in the file name. Reports where you chose to not flag the tax period have ‘Draft’ in the file name.
View & Print link (available for submitted/final reports only) – Opens a copy of the VAT form containing the submitted or final values for the period.
Accounting Book (available if Multi-Book Accounting feature is enabled) – Shows the accounting book used to generate the report.
