So, I'm diving in to the German Tax Report setup, and I am a bit confused when I look at the DEMF Contoso company as reference. From experience, I know that these setups usually need to be verified and fleshed out, to different degrees.
In this case however, I am very confused. I am looking at a "Muster der Umsatzsteuererklärung 2020" from DATEV Magazine (example of VAT reporting 2020), specifically Form 2A.
The Contoso data for DEMF seems to be very outdated. For example, the reporting codes 177,178,179 (Umsätze zum allgemeinen Steuersatz) from Form 2A are completely missing and the corresponding data seem to be set up as reporting codes 81 and 181 respectively instead.
Now, I am looking at the standard "German layout" SSRS report you would run from the Tax module, not the ELSTER Electronic Reporting format. Is this why I am so confused? I would assume that also the ER format would refer to the Reporting Codes to rely on the correct transactions to be caught during tax report run.
Can anyone point me in the right direction in this? I've been trying to get a form specification from Bundesfinanzamt but I need to log on to ELSTER portal for it (unless I am mistaken) and I don't have that access.
Thank you so much, Ludwig! I knew there was something I was missing - and indeed was I looking at the yearly statement and not the monthly.
Trying to compare apples and oranges is a bad idea!
The yearly statement would be handled by the Steuerberater anyway, but this is to be able to both reconcile and settle/post VAT in F&O since we are also integrating with DATEV for Steuerberater services.
Hi Eric,
I think you mixed the annual VAT statement that we have to submit in Germany - which D365FO does not support - with the monthly VAT (prepayment) statement that D365FO supports.
Can you please check out the following document, which gives you the codes needed for the supported monthly VAT statement.
Best regards,
Ludwig
