Swiss VAT Declaration form

in

Banana accounting 5 provides for a style sheet that allows the user to obtain automatically the Swiss VAT report, with the indication of the amount of every number, to transfer to the official form.   

The form functions at its best from on Banana accounting version 5.0.7 

Attention: place yourself with the cursor of the mouse on the executable file and with the right button, activate "Save link as" or "Save target as".

 

Here is how to proceed:

  • Download the style sheet for the VAT report and save it in the same folder where the accounting file is being stored  
  • Place yourself in the "VAT codes" table, view "Complete VAT"; if, in the "VAT codes" table, the "GR1" column is not visible, then edit the table so that this column becomes visible
  • For every VAT code, insert in the "GR1" column the reference number of the VAT form  
  • When a VAT code has to be placed in several numbers of the VAT form, you have to insert, in the corresponding cell, the numbers to which it refers, seperated by a semi-colon (;).

 

  • At the end of the period, after all the necessary transactions have been inserted, the data have to be exported in XML: in the File menu, click on the "Export file to XML" command.
  • In the area "File name", insert the name of the accounting file for which the VAT report needs to be processed. 
  • In the area "Style sheet XSLT”, insert the path and the name of the style sheet for the VAT report.
  • Activate the option "Display file immediately" so that the style sheet with the data for the VAT declaration will be directly displayed on the screen. 


  


  • In the Include area, the options "File info table" and "Transactions table" have to be activated.
  • The option "VAT/Sales tax report" in the period area should not be activated.

 

 

  • In the Period tab, select the desired period 

 

The declaration reports exactly all the indications of the VAT form; just transribe the amounts related to the numbers on the official form.

 


In case there would be mistakes ( for instance, the corresponding number is missing for a code), the program gives a message in red print "Zur Kontrolle muss die Summe gleich Null sein" and indicates the difference 

 

Note: This official VAT form is only available in German, French and Italian.
