You can retrieve BAS reports for review and, depending on the localization, save the report data to be submitted to the tax authorities as follows:

  • In Australia, you can export BAS amounts to a Microsoft Excel file. You can use the file to submit the amounts to the tax authorities, for example, by filling in the pre-printed report forms.

  • In Czech Republic, the Netherlands, and Slovakia, you can create an electronic BAS report file in XML format. You can submit the file to the tax authorities directly for VAT declaration purposes.

  • In Portugal, you can create electronic BAS report files in TXT format. With the DEFIR add-on, the files are then converted into a new file format that can be submitted to the tax authorities directly.

To retrieve and save the BAS reports, use the BAS report retrieval function. Proceed as follows:
