3.2. I fill the template DE IVA Modulo – Month 201X

Based on the outcome of this report we have to build the template IT 5835 DE IVA MODULO_MMYYYY and perform quality check in the end to assess the accuracy of the information that will be delivered. 
The Template is divided in four operation types:

  1. Sales
  2. Purchases
  3. Turnover tax on import
  4. Intercommunity acquisition


Hereunder, step by step what we need to do for each type of operation:

    • Current no. (Sequential numbering)
    • Name of the purchaser
    • Document date
    • Number of invoice
    • Net value (opposite sign)
    • Output tax
    • Kind of service 

, in the column NET VALUE and OUTPUT TAX the figures should be pasted with positive sign, in case the amount will be negative is because the documents issued for the customer are credit notes. 

 


In point 4.3.3 is explained how to reach the amount to fill in the discount line (marked in yellow) that should have always negative sign. 
Copy from the standard report extracted from SAP all the information concerning TAX code report "5G" below raw Intra-Community delivery: 



    • Current no. (Sequential numbering)
    • Name of the purchaser
    • Document date
    • Number of invoice
    • Net value (opposite sign)
    • Output tax 

If there is an invoice posted with 5G, please add the amount without a minus when it is a sales invoice. 

Additional information regarding tax code 5G:
In addition, when there is no total amount to be paid by the recipient of the invoices, because there is a rebate of 100% and the total is 0,-- €, the invoices must not be included in the VAT file. 

2) Purchases

Copy from the SAP standard report all the information concerning TAX code "7V" and "7H" except the data of suppliers linked with custom bills (e.g.: 702701488 – Panalpina, 9901007349 - Custom Bremen, 1003048164 - BDP INTERNATIONAL GMBH (fees should be included as purchases) and Solvay Polymers: 

    • Current no. (Sequential numbering)
    • Name of the purchaser
    • Document date
    • SAP doc number
    • Number of invoice

For German the suppliers to be considered are: 

    • 702701488 – Panalpina

Open the documents on vendor 9901007349 - Custom Bremen, see the attached image and confirm if the amount is the same of the VAT report. 

 


Note that when filling the declaration the supplier to be use is Panalpina or BDPINTERNATIONAL GMBH (field Supplier Name and Invoice Reference), because this is the one who pays the tax on behalf of Solvay Specialty Polymers Italy. However, the Document Number and the amounts to be reported are the ones from Custom Bremen. 

For BDP INTERNATIONAL GMBH, please note that the amount to be included are only the one mentioned in print above (Einfuhrumsatzsteuer (EUSt)), if we have Customs Duty, the amount should be reported in Purchases.

    • Document date
    • SAP doc number
    • Base amount
    • Output tax 
    • Input tax 

3.3. I retrieve the discount amount

In this step we need to distinguish the amount to insert in the VAT Refund file (yellow line).

The only way for now to detect these cases are via: 

1) Run transaction FS10N and include the following information: 

    • G/L account: 6531000000
    • Company code: 5835
    • Year: Current year 

 



Go to the posting of the monthly cash discount needed by pressing double click in the amount of the month selected: 


Open attachment list of the posting:


The attachment contains an excel file with the whole detail of customer discounts. In the attachment - Filter by the German Document Range - 668* in column Affiliate doc. num. 

These are the documents posted with VAT nr of Solv Polymers in DE 
We should sum the figures by column Amount: 

    • Base amount: - 20.268,84 €
    • Output tax: As it is not automatically calculated the amount has to be included as 19% of base amount. -3.851,08€

Extract the information to excel by clicking on .

By checking SAP report 57 and the outcome from VE01, you will see that VE01 does not contemplate the plants abroad from BE, so you need to see the invoices in the report 57 extraction and add these invoices to the VE01 extraction sheet:

5835 is the only company which the Intrastat need to be done manually in IDEV website, usually with arrivals only to be recorded (since the threshold for dispatches is always below the mandatory and no submission is needed for dispatches):
