There are four VAT box types:
Title - Select this type to manage the various titles and subtitles that must be included in the VAT preparatory report. No amount is calculated or displayed for this box type. Title VAT box types are not present in the Entry detail section of the Belgian and French VAT preparatory reports, but displayed in bold and in a gray banner of the recap section.
Detail - Select this type to reference the box on the Detail tab. DetailVAT box types are used to indicate in which box extracted entry lines and their amounts have to be added and totaled. Amounts are then detailed in the preparatory report and their total by VAT box is displayed in the recap section of the report.
For Australian legislation, use Detail VAT box type for all GST data.
Total - Select this type to calculate total amounts for Detail VAT box types. This total is carried out by the Belgian and French VAT declaration processes, taking into account the VAT box codes referenced in the Formula field.
Off declaration - Select this type of reference for tax codes posted in the processed entries for which no VAT must be declared on the Detail tab. The Belgian and French VAT declaration function does not process entry lines that include tax codes defined for an Off declaration VAT box type and it does not return them as errors. However, you can view the detail of entries linked to an Off declaration VAT box type in the log file for the Belgian and French VAT.
On debit or On payment types are selected in the VAT Type check box in the Tax rate function (GESTVT).
Example of an Off declaration situation:
Consider a Belgian legal company with a financial site registered in France. The recorded accounting entries of this site use tax codes with no legislation code and French VAT with On debit or On payment rate types. When the Belgian VAT declaration is processed in the Belgian company, the entries of the French site must not be declared. The setup of one or several Off declaration box types can then be used to specify the list of tax codes to be excluded from the declaration.
Modifying the type: You can only modify the type if the box is not referenced on the Detail tab.To modify the type, first delete the combinations of Detail or Off declaration VAT box codes on the Detail tab.
