Hi Community,
 
Please help to setup VAT for import of goods in VAT Posting setup and how to add this import VAT in VAT Statement.
 
Company uses Postponed VAT Accounting, PVA. So no need to pay VAT immediately. Company declare and recover on the same VAT return, using the postponed VAT method.
 
Please share your experience.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for your question! When using Postponed VAT Accounting (PVA) in Dynamics 365 Business Central, you can configure VAT for imported goods so that it’s declared and recovered in the same VAT return.

    Here’s how to set it up:

    1. VAT Posting Setup

      • Create a VAT Posting Group specifically for imports (e.g., IMPORTVAT).
      • In VAT Posting Setup, assign:
        • VAT %: Set the applicable rate (e.g., 20%).
        • VAT Calculation Type: Use Reverse Charge VAT.
        • VAT Account: Set both VAT Payable and VAT Receivable accounts to reflect postponed VAT.

    2. Purchase Setup

      • Assign the IMPORTVAT group to vendors and items related to imports.
      • Ensure the Purchase Invoice uses this VAT setup when posting import transactions.

    3. VAT Statement Configuration

      • In the VAT Statement, include lines for:
        • VAT Base Amount (for imports).
        • VAT Amount (declared and recovered).
      • Use filters to isolate the IMPORTVAT group so it appears correctly in the statement.

    4. Postponed VAT Reporting

      • The system will post both the VAT payable and receivable entries, allowing for net-zero impact but proper declaration.

    Let me know if this helps, and please mark the response as helpful if it answered your question 😊

    Best regards!

    For imports with Postponed VAT Accounting, you use a normal Reverse Charge VAT scheme in the VAT Posting Setup. That way, when you post the purchase, Business Central creates two VAT entries: one for VAT Payable and one for VAT Receivable, with the same amount. This posts the import VAT into the VAT Entries but nets to zero in the G/L. Those entries are then picked up in your VAT Statement for declaration and recovery in the same return.
