If your company is registered for VAT in a European Union (EU) member state and conducts business related to the trading of goods (tangible, manufactured commodities such as fabrics, tools, oil, and so on) between member states with a trade value above the exemption threshold, you must file monthly or, in Italy in some cases, quarterly Intrastat (Intra-EU Trade Statistics System) declarations with the competent national authority. An Intrastat declaration is not used to collect data on services, except where the service is an integral part of the contract for the supply of such goods, for example, freight and insurance charges that are included in the price of the goods.
After initializing the Intrastat declaration function, you can use the Intrastat declaration wizard to prepare Intrastat declarations if your company is based in one of the following countries:
Note
Some countries do not have corresponding localizations in SAP Business One, for example, Bulgaria and Lithuania. Nevertheless, you can still make Intrastat declarations if your company is based in one of these countries.
