Setting Up Tax Filing for Germany

To generate an XML file of your VAT return or EU sales list for online filing, you must set up your online tax filing details.

To set up tax filing information for Germany:

  1. Go to Reports > VAT/GST > Tax Reports (International).

  2. If you are using OneWorld, select the German VAT-registered subsidiary.

  3. Select the country form for Germany.

  4. Click Setup and click Tax Filing.

  5. Complete the Tax Filing Setup page:

    1. Enter the VAT number to be used for German VAT reporting.

    2. Enter your participant number.

    3. Select the VAT reporting period (quarter, month, or year).

    4. Select your tax region.

  6. Click Save.

The VAT number entered here will be the VAT number that appears in the VAT report or EU sales list report for the nexus of the subsidiary. When you generate a VAT report or EU sales list without first setting up your tax filing details for your nexuses, the report will get the VAT number that is saved on your Company Information page (if your using a non-OneWorld account) or on the Subsidiary record (if you are using a OneWorld account).

To set up the Intrastat Reporting and Intrastat Defaults subtabs, see Setting Up Nature of Transaction Codes.
