End of the note.

Separate VAT Run for Each Vendor You Pay Taxes For

  1. You calculate the total amount of VAT that you have to declare for the vendor.

    To do this, proceed as described in Calculating VAT Totals once for each vendor, entering either the target tax code or the tax transfer document type that you have defined for the vendor.

    Save each run for each vendor under a different run ID.

  2. You can then print out a VAT return for each vendor.

    To do so, for each vendor, proceed as described in Printing VAT Returns. In addition:

    • In the Run ID field, enter the run ID from step 1.

    • In the Sections of VAT Returns to Be Printed group box, select Tax Agent and enter the vendor’s account number.

      Note that the vendor’s account number is only used to read the vendor’s master data. It is not used to read any VAT information. In this case, this comes from the run ID.
