Declaration rules for triangular deal transactions

For a triangular deal transaction to be included in an Intrastat declaration, the following requirements must be met:

  • You have specified a triangular deal tax code for the transaction.

  • The declaration country is the same as the warehouse country in the business document.

  • For import: The warehouse and the default ship-to address of the business partner are in different countries.

  • For export: The warehouse and the ship-to address in the business document are in different countries.

If the warehouse in the business document is located in a different country from the declaration country, a triangular deal transaction (identified by a triangular deal tax code) is not declared properly.

Declaration rules for paired business documents relevant to triangular deal transactions

The tax code of the target document determines the declaration when one of the following occurs:

  • The posting dates of the base document and the target document are within the same month.

  • The posting date of the target document is one month later than the posting date of the base document.

The tax code of the base document determines the declaration when the posting date of the target document is more than one month later than the posting date of the base document. The triangular deal is declared only when the determining tax code is not empty.
