Introduction
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a transaction tax that is paid by the end consumer and
businesses.
It is required for all companies to report and calculate VAT, therefore companies
need to become familiar with the setup process, in addition to how to calculate,
display, and adjust VAT amounts in sales and purchase documents.
Additional functions that make the required VAT reporting more efficient
include:
• Import VAT
• VAT Corrections
• VAT Reporting
• VAT Settlement
• Unrealized VAT
• Payment Discount VAT Adjustments
Intrastat is a required reporting process for all European Union (EU) companies
that trade with other EU countries/regions.
The system can be set up to run all the necessary reports related to Intrastat and
make the reporting more efficient for the company.

Display VAT Amounts in Sales and Purchase Documents

Companies can display and calculate VAT amounts in sales and purchase
documents differently, depending on the Prices Including VAT settings on the
customer or vendor card.

The selection made in the Prices Including VAT check box determines whether
Unit Prices on sales documents and Direct Unit Costs on purchase documents
include VAT. Set up the Prices Including VAT check box in the following
areas:
• Customer Card
• Vendor Card
• Item Card
• Sales document header
• Purchase document header
On the customer and vendor cards, if the Prices Including VAT check box:
• Does not contain a check mark, sales and purchase documents are
automatically set up to exclude VAT from unit prices and direct unit
costs. Therefore, the price and cost fields on the respective document
dynamically display Unit Price Excl. VAT and Direct Unit Cost
Excl. VAT.
• Contains a check mark, sales and purchase documents are
automatically set up to include VAT in unit prices and direct unit
costs. Therefore, the price and cost fields on the respective document
dynamically display Unit Price Incl. VAT and Direct Unit Cost
Incl. VAT.
On the item card, if the Prices Including VAT check box:
• Does not contain a check mark:

o VAT is not included in the unit price.
o The unit price is copied directly from the item card to the Unit
Price field on the sales line.
• Does contain a check mark:

o VAT is subtracted from the price on the item card before it is
entered on the sales line.
o The VAT Bus. Posting Gr. (Price) field must be filled in.
Except for retail sales, the Prices Including VAT check box typically does not
contain a check mark.

NOTE: To include VAT in the unit price on items, you must display the Prices
Including VAT and VAT Bus. Posting Gr. (Price) fields on the Item Card
window using the Form Designer.
The following table provides an overview of how unit price amounts are
calculated for a sales document when prices are not set up in the Sales Prices
window.

related to the VAT Bus. Posting Gr. (Price) and
the VAT Prod. Posting Group combination. The
Unit Price on the Item Card, reduced by the
VAT amount, is then entered in the Unit Price
Excl. VAT field in the sales lines.
Check Check mark The Unit Price on the Item Card is copied to
mark Unit Price Incl. VAT field on the sales lines.
If the Prices Including VAT functions is set up on customers and vendors, it is

not necessary to change the settings on the sales or purchase document headers.
However, if amounts on individual documents have to include or exclude VAT,
the Prices Including VAT check box in the header can be changed.
Changing the Prices Including VAT setting in a sales or purchase document

header generates a message that asks you to update the unit price or direct unit
cost on the lines. If the Prices Including VAT setting is changed, any manual
changes that are made to the unit prices or direct unit costs are overwritten.

Adjust VAT Amounts in Sales and Purchase Documents and

Journals
When VAT amounts calculated by Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 are slightly
different from VAT amounts calculated by the customer or vendor, the amount
can be manually adjusted:
• On the sales or purchase documents

• On general, sales, or purchase journals
Adjust VAT Amounts in Sales and Purchase Documents

On sales and purchase documents, VAT is automatically calculated using the:
• Customer or vendor's VAT Bus. Posting Group.

• Item's VAT Prod. Posting Group.

Users can manually enter or adjust VAT amounts if the calculated amount is
slightly different from the amount calculated by the customer or vendor, for
example, caused by rounding.
The following must be set up before you enter or adjust VAT in sales and
purchase documents:
• Specify a maximum VAT correction amount allowed.

• Allow the VAT difference for sales and purchases.
To set up the maximum VAT correction amount, follow these steps:
1. On the Navigation Pane, click the Departments button, click

Administration, click Application Setup, click Financial
Management, click Finance, and then select General Ledger
Setup.
2. In the Max. VAT Difference Allowed field, enter the maximum
VAT correction amount for the local currency. For example, if 5 is
entered and LCY is British Pounds, VAT amounts can be corrected
by up to five pounds.
3. Close the General Ledger Setup window.
To allow VAT correction for sales and purchases, follow these steps:

Management, click Finance, and then select Sales & Receivables
Setup.
2. Add a check mark in the Allow Vat Difference field to allow the
manual adjustment of VAT amounts in sales documents.
3. Close the Sales & Receivables Setup window.
4. Select Purchases & Payables Setup.
5. Add a check mark in the Allow Vat Difference field to allow the
manual adjustment of VAT amounts in sales documents.
6. Close the Purchases & Payables Setup window.
After setup is complete, VAT adjustments can be made in the Sales Order
Statistics or Purchase Order Statistics windows.
To open either window, follow these steps:
1. From either the sales or purchase order, select the customer or

vendor and click Statistics.
2. Click the Invoicing FastTab. Adjustments can only be made while
on this FastTab.

In either window, the total VAT amount for the invoice, grouped by VAT
identifier, is displayed in the lines. To make an adjustment, change the amount in
the VAT Amount field on the lines for each VAT identifier.
When the VAT Amount field is changed, Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009
verifies that the VAT amount was not changed by more than the amount
specified as the maximum difference allowed. One of the following actions then
occurs:
• If the amount is outside the range of the Max. VAT Difference

Allowed, the system displays a warning stating that the maximum
allowed difference and the adjustment is prevented. Click OK and
enter another VAT Amount that is within the allowed range.
• If the VAT difference is equal to or lower than the maximum
allowed, the VAT is divided proportionally among the document
lines that have the same VAT identifier.
Confirm the original VAT amount and the adjusted difference on the Sales
Order Statistics or Purchase Order Statistics windows by using the Show
Column function to display the Calculated VAT Amount and VAT Difference
fields.
Demonstration: Adjust a VAT Amount in a Purchase

Document
Scenario: April, the accounts payable coordinator at CRONUS International
Ltd., receives an invoice from vendor 10000, for purchase order 106009. The
VAT amount on the invoice is 230.00, not 225.90 as calculated.
April discusses the difference with Phyllis, the accounting manager, who tells her
to set up a 5.00 maximum VAT correction amount and allow corrections for
purchases.
April accidentally enters 4.00 as the maximum and then tries to adjust the VAT
amount on the purchase invoice. Because the change is not within the allowed
range, she is prevented from making the change. She checks her setup, and after
correcting the maximum VAT correction amount, she adjusts the VAT amount
accordingly.
The Calculated VAT Amount and VAT Difference fields are also added to the
Purchase Order Statistics window to review the original VAT amount and the
difference between the amounts.

Import VAT
The process of recording Import VAT involves posting a document where the
whole amount is treated as VAT. Import VAT is recorded when a VAT invoice is
received from tax authorities for imported goods.
Demonstration: Set Up and Post Import VAT

Ltd., posts a purchase invoice in the amount of 100,000.00 LCY for imported
goods. This invoice is posted with a VAT % of zero.
When the VAT invoice from the tax authorities arrives, it shows a calculated
import VAT amount of 25 percent of the invoice amount (25,000.00 LCY).
Therefore, when the VAT invoice is paid, a VAT ledger entry must be created by
using the VAT base of zero (0) and the VAT amount of LCY 25,000.00.
The first step is to set up a general ledger account and the VAT Posting Setup to
accommodate the Import VAT. Import VAT is then posted using either a journal
or purchase invoice. In this demonstration, both posting options are explored.

invoice.
2. Import VAT is recorded when a VAT invoice is received from tax
authorities for ________ goods.
3. Recording Import VAT is the process of posting a document where
the ______ amount is treated as VAT.
VAT Correction
In Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009, corrections can be made to posted VAT
entries using a process that changes the total sales or purchase VAT amounts
without changing the VAT base. This process is used, for example, when an
invoice is received from a vendor who has calculated VAT incorrectly.
The correction process includes a:
• Purchase VAT and Payables G/L accounts setup for Direct Posting
• Correction VAT Posting Setup with a VAT Calculation Type of
Full VAT
• General Journal
NOTE: Minimal VAT Posting Group combinations are set up in the "Set Up and
Post a VAT Correction" demonstration.

Demonstration: Set Up and Post a VAT Correction

Ltd., posts a purchase invoice with an amount excluding VAT of 1,000.00, using
25 percent VAT. With the VAT25 posting combination, the following entries are
made:
• 1,250.00 credit to both the relevant vendor account and the payables
account.
• 250.00 debit to the purchase VAT account.
April later receives the vendor invoice, stating that the amount including VAT
amount is 1240.00. Therefore, a 10.00 correction must be posted. April contacts
Cassie, the accountant, to make the correction.
Because this is the first VAT correction needed at CRONUS International Ltd.,
Cassie sets up the following to prepare for the correction process:
• Purchase VAT 25% account and the Vendor, Domestic payables

account are set up for Direct Posting.
• Correction VAT Product Posting Group is created.
• VAT Posting Setup combination for National (domestic) vendors
and the Correction VAT Product Posting Group is created, for Full
VAT, with a zero VAT %.
As soon as the setup is complete, she posts the correction using a general journal
and then reviews the posting. As soon as the posting and review are complete,
she removes the Direct Posting capabilities on the G/L accounts.

What must be done after correcting posted VAT entries?
VAT Statements
The VAT statement is used to specify the basis for calculating the VAT payable
to the tax authorities. Created in the VAT Statement window, the VAT
statement is defined based on:
• Accounts in the Chart of Accounts window.

• Entries in the VAT Entries window.
The advantage of using the VAT entries is that you can close these entries by
posting the VAT settlement. When working with VAT entries, you can locate
VAT correction entries in previous accounting periods, where the VAT statement
is done.
In Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009, the VAT statement:
• Is typically only defined during the initial company setup.

• Is set up with the format required by the tax authorities.
• Can be previewed and printed after it is defined.
VAT Statement Templates and Names

When multiple VAT Statements are needed:
• Different kinds of VAT Statements are created in the VAT

Statement Templates window.
• If different VAT Statements are created based on the same template,
different names are created in the VAT Statement Names window.

To create a VAT Statement Template, follow these steps:

Management, click General, and then select VAT Statement
Templates.
2. In the Name field, enter a unique name for the template.
3. In the Description field, enter a short description of the template.
To assign statements to a template, follow these steps:
1. On the VAT Statement Templates window, select the relevant

template.
2. Click Related Information, point to Template, and then select
Statement Names.
3. In the Name field, enter a unique name for the statement.
4. In the Description field, enter a short description of the statement.
5. Close the VAT Statement Names and VAT Statement Templates
windows.
The VAT Statement is now defined in the VAT Statement window.
VAT Statement
The VAT Statement window is used to calculate the VAT settlement amount for
a specific period. The purpose of defining the VAT Statement window is to
determine how the statement is calculated and appears when it is printed.
On the lines in the VAT Statement window, specify the information to be

printed and how financial figures are totaled. You can set up several VAT
statements for different purposes.
FIGURE 8.1 VAT STATEMENT

The fields on the VAT Statement window are:
• Name - accesses the VAT Statement Names window. New

statement names can be set up or existing statements can be selected.
• Description - a description of the VAT statement line. It is
recommended to use the description from the customs and tax
authorities' VAT statement form.
• Type - determines what the VAT statement line includes. The
options are as follows:
o Account Totaling: Used when VAT is totaled using G/L
Account entries. If selected, the Account Totaling field must be
filled in with the G/L account range to total.
o VAT Entry Totaling: Used when VAT is totaled using VAT
entries. If selected, the following fields must be filled in:
- Gen. Posting Type
- VAT Bus. Posting Group
- VAT Prod. Posting Group
- Amount Type
o Row Totaling: Used to define the totaling of other rows in the

VAT statement. If selected, the Row Totaling field must be
filled in with the row range to total.
o Description: Used when the row is to contain only text or
symbols, for example, a dotted line.
• Account Totaling - if Account Totaling is selected in the Type field,

specify the G/L account interval or a series of G/L account numbers
to be included in the row total.
• General Posting Type, VAT Bus. Posting Group, and VAT Prod.
Posting Group - if VAT Entry Totaling is selected in the Type field,
in each field, specify the appropriate value for the row. These fields
determine which VAT entries from the VAT Entry table are totaled.
• Amount Type -if VAT Entry Totaling is selected in the Type field,
specify whether the totaling of VAT entries will consist of VAT
amounts or the amounts on which the VAT is based. The options are
as follows:
o Blank: No amount is totaled.
o Amount: The VAT Amount in the selected VAT entries is
totaled in the row.
o Base: The Base Amount used to calculate the VAT in the
selected VAT entries is totaled in the row.
o Unrealized Amount: The Unrealized VAT Amount in the
selected VAT entries is totaled in the row.
o Unrealized Base: The Unrealized Base Amount used to
calculate the Unrealized VAT in the selected VAT entries is
totaled in the row.

• Row Totaling - if Row Totaling is selected in the Type field, specify

the row-number interval or a series of row numbers to be included in
the row total.
• Calculate With - Determines whether Microsoft Dynamics NAV
2009 reverses the sign of VAT entries when it performs calculations.
The options are as follows:
o Sign: Uses the sign of the VAT entry.
o Opposite Sign: Uses the opposite sign of the VAT entry.
• Print - if selected, the row is printed on the VAT Statement.

• Print With - determines whether amounts on the VAT statement are
printed with their original sign or with the sign reversed. The options
are the same as in the Calculate With field.
• New Page - if selected, a new page begins immediately after this row
when the VAT statement is printed.
NOTE: Regardless of whether Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 treats individual

amounts as debit or credit amounts, by selecting Opposite Sign in this field, you
can print all amounts on the VAT statement with a positive sign.

Intrastat Reporting
All EU businesses must report their trade with other EU countries. Each
company within the EU is responsible for:
• Reporting the movement of goods to their statistics authorities every

month.
• Delivering the report to their tax authorities.
In Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009, this EU trade reporting is known as Intrastat

Reporting. The Intrastat Journal is used to complete periodic Intrastat reports.

For posted item entries to contain the necessary information when imported into
the Intrastat Journal line, the following must be set up:
• Tariff Numbers
• Transactions Types
• Transport Methods
After each of these are set up:
• Tariff Numbers must be assigned on the Foreign Trade FastTab of

each item.
• Transaction Types and Transport Methods must be assigned on
the Foreign Trade FastTab of sales and purchase documents before
posting.
Intrastat Journal Templates and Batches must also be set up before Intrastat can
be reported.

In addition, you must fill in the Intrastat Code because the Get Item Ledger
Entries batch job in the Intrastat Journal retrieves only the entries that contain a
country code with an Intrastat Code. Therefore, ensure that Intrastat codes are set
up for the country codes used in the batch job.
To set up EU Country/Region and Intrastat codes on countries/regions, follow

these steps:

Administration, click Application Setup, click General, and then
select Countries/Regions.
