This system is used when you want to have the immediate breakdown of VAT for each transaction in the Transactions table .
It is important to know:
- If this method is used, attention must be paid to the fact that the final VAT is calculated on the invoice amount already including VAT, therefore on the total turnover.
- The VAT deduction that is made in the account will not be the same as the VAT amount invoiced to the customer. These situations can be confusing, so we recommend using this method only if you have a good understanding of VAT mechanisms.
How to proceed
Before proceeding with the processing of the VAT statement (facsimile and XML file) it is necessary to:
- Check if the VAT Codes table is updated.
- In the VAT Codes table, enter your tax rates relating to codes F1, F2, FS1, FS2 (sample rates have been entered in the following window).
- In the Transactions table, enter the transactions, indicating the code for the balance rate. The VAT balance percentage and the amount separated from the revenue account will appear.
VAT facsimile and XML file for the FTA
At the end of the period, to process the VAT facsimile statement and the XML file to be forwarded to the FTA, use the Swiss VAT: net tax rate method extension.
Extensions are installed via the Extensions menu > Manage Extensions command.

Registration with VAT breakdown

When registering, the program breaks down the related VAT amount for each individual transaction and it registers it to the VAT account statement.
VAT payment at the end of the period
At the end of the period, after calculating the VAT to be paid, a transaction must be made to transfer the balance from the VAT account to the VAT account to be paid.
The VAT return account, after this transaction, will have zero as a balance.
When the VAT is paid, the payable VAT account will be registered onto the debit account and a liquidity account will be registered in the credit account.
