The [Yearly status] dialogue is an annual overview that contains monthly VAT return periods as well as the annual VAT return periods. It is available only for the representative VAT group member. At the top of the overview dialogue you can select the period and company. The [Company] dropdown contains only representative VAT group members and the group of all standalone companies. The monthly VAT return status of every company is represented in the tabular view by the coloured symbols per month. It indicates the current status of the VAT return in the selected period. If there is a [0] in the milestone symbol, the VAT return has not been corrected. If there is a [1], the company creates the first corrected VAT return.
This [Arrow 
] button beside the company name can be used to open the [Status] dialogue. If you click on the [Arrow] button beside the period, the corresponding column in the table is highlighted and the selected period appears in the [Applies to period] dropdown.
If the individual VAT return is still being processed, the milestone is displayed in [Yellow
]. If the milestone of the company is to be closed, click on this [Milestone
]. The status changes to [Green 
].
If, within a column (period), all the companies of the VAT group are closed [], a [Send sign
] appears, in addition to the green milestone of the representative VAT group member. This sign can be used to send the VAT return to the tax office. The view automatically changes to the [Send VAT return] dialogue.
If the milestone of a company is already finalised and marked [Green], the company can be opened again by clicking on this [Milestone] and the status changes again to [In work].
Once the VAT return is sent to the tax office, it cannot be changed anymore. However, a correction VAT return can be created and then sent to the tax office. In the case of the correction VAT return, the milestone is marked with a number [
] which represents the number of corrections.
If there are empty VAT returns, they can be closed via the grey [Milestone
].
VAT return correction
To create a corrected VAT return use the [plus sign
]. A confirmation prompt pops up asking the user whether a correction VAT should really be created, since once created the action cannot be cancelled.
If the correction is made in a company, the number of the milestone increases (for example, a blue zero becomes a yellow one). At the same time, the [VAT return] dialogue is used to automatically duplicate the VAT return column and display a correction column.
The values can be adjusted in the [Correction 1] column. Please add a meaningful description.
After the VAT return has been finalised, the representative VAT group member or parent unit must also be finalised again so that the VAT group return can be sent. The difference between the tax to be declared and the correction is always displayed in the yearly VAT return.
