The subdialog [Status] functions as the start screen for the main dialogue [VAT] and provides information about the current status of the preliminary VAT return in VAT@GTC.

Depending on the selected period type (monthly/quarterly VAT return, annual VAT return or special prepayment), the additional dialogues next to the Status dialogue may vary. Read in the sections [preliminary VAT return], [Yearly VAT return] and [Special prepayment] to find out more about these three types of periods.

Process Status

The steps of the reporting process monitored by the VAT@GTC per company are in detail:

Import

This step is available only if import is configured for the company. Companies whose declaration is created manually do not have this step.

Symbols	Report Imported. Report not imported yet.
Log	A compliance stamp is created for each import, in which the report name, date and time, as well as the user of the import are stored. If a report is imported multiple times, each individual import is stored so that there can be multiple entries per report.
Status	Not yet imported Imported

Manual adjustments

This step is always available.

Symbols

No manual adjustments have been made yet (since the VAT return has not been created yet).

The necessary adjustments have been started but have not been completed yet.

Manual adjustments have been made and the VAT return has been closed.

Log

A compliance stamp is created for each import and each reopening after the declaration has been completed. The action, date and time, as well as the user who performed the action, are stored in the compliance stamp.

If the declaration is created manually, a compliance stamp is set at the first entry of a declaration value.

Resubmission status

If there are any to-dos left open from the previous period, a notification appears [] in the [Status] dialogue. The [Deadline] column contains the deadlines for the open to-dos. They have to be finished in the [Resubmission] dialogue before proceeding with the creation of the VAT return in the current period.

Good to know!

Resubmission processing is compulsory, otherwise other dialogues of the [VAT] area are not available.

If these to-dos are left unprocessed, the dialogues [Company subdivisions] and [VAT return] are blocked.
