Intrastat - Shipping from different EU country

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 524

This issue has been around for a while, but has anyone ever found a reliable solution?

We have a legal entity in Germany with a warehouse in Poland. The warehouse is stacked with items that are purchased in Poland. When the items are sold, they are direct delivered from Poland to the customer. At crossing the border they are eligible for intrastat reporting and they appear in the intrastat list after update. They even appear on the intrastat report. Just one small problem, they appear on the German intrastat report. Polish custom authorities now want to have an intrastat report of outbound items. 

Uhmmm's the word.

I assume I can select a different report format in the setup. I can even make a selection of all items that were delivered from PL. If all else fails I am sure I can get the data and format it in the proper fashion. But is there really no better way? I really don't want to change my setup every time I want to produce a customs report. Besides, the 'diskette DE' (seriously, it reads diskette. Guess it's a step up from floppy) seems fairly hard coded to produce a fixed length text file for German customs and no one else.

Moving the warehouse to a Polish entity is not an option due to it not being an option (or so I'm told).

    Hi,

    I am not an expert for the Intrastat functionality but noticed that there seems a country-specific setup available.

    Have you already tried going through the following descriptions?

    Hi Ludwig, thanks for the input. I'm obviously no intrastat expert myself, but I'm afraid I'll have to become one rapidly before this is through. The problem is not so much with the report setup. The Polish tax authority demands to be notified about border crossings that take place inside our German company. At the same time I also still have to report to the German authorities about goods crossing borders from Germany to any other country (inc. Poland, but let's not make things more complex than they already are). Both authorities require completely different formats for the electronic files that we have to provide them with.

    Quite frankly I think this should be an EU-government problem rather than mine. In the end they need to balance trade between EU-countries and it shouldn't matter in what country I report my transactions. But apparently they see it differently....

    I think I found a solution with minimal customization. This will not work for any combination of countries as far as I can tell.

    The menu items that are the available options under the 'output' menu are determined by the localization of the current company. In Germany this means: 'Diskette DE', 'List DE' and 'Form DE'. Neither of these 3 options uses the report format that can be selected in the Foreign trade parameters. 

    This means that I can activate the standard 'report' menu item by removing the Country specific property (or add 'DE' to it). The standard report will use the definition in the Foreign trade parameters, so if I set that one to blablablaPL_XML I have exactly what I need and can produce both Polish and German formats without having to change settings every time. 

    The next step will be to select transactions based on country of origin, but that can even be done manually for the time being.

    Proof and pudding, but I will lose no more sleep over it.

    It's been a while, but by now I have to admit that the above solution did not work. You can make the Polish intrastat functionality available, but you then run into a chain of missing localizations that are required to produce the export.

    I ended up creating customization that exports all required data to a .csv file which can then be imported by the IST@T program, freely available from the Polish authorities and the only accepted means of submitting your declarations anyway.

    It's not my dream solution, but it works.
