Features

The procedure for creating a VAT refund application has several steps:

Select Reporting Data:

You can use the VAT Refund report program (RFUMSV00) to select the relevant reporting data. This data is then written to the reporting portfolio of VAT refunds and combined by periods (months).

Edit Reporting Data:

You can use the Electronic Data Transmission to Authorities program (transaction FOTV) to edit the reporting data of the new periods and to create manual reporting documents (for example, for data from non-SAP systems).

Create VAT Refund Application:

You can combine periods into one application if you want to transfer these to the tax authority at the same time. You can create applications either manually or with automatic application creation.
