As of January 2016, the Austrian tax authorities will require VAT returns to be reported using the new layout introduced for 2016. This new layout will be used if the year 2016 or onwards is filled in the section VAT layout, accessible via Finance ➔ VAT / Statistics ➔ VAT return. In the layout, the newly added VAT return boxes 006, 007, and 008 for the VAT to pay and Sales basis types will be displayed. These options can be found via System ➔ Finance ➔ VAT ➔ VAT boxes. New VAT return layout
The new VAT return layout is displayed in the following example. All changes made are highlighted in red. The most important changes are:
New Crystal report layout In the Crystal report layout, new boxes 006 and 007 replace boxes 025 and 038 found in the layout of 2015, and box 008 has been added between boxes 073 and 088.
Due to the newly added VAT boxes, the calculation for the affected boxes will change as well. The calculation will be:
Box 006 If box 006 (Basis) < 0, then Box 000 (Basis) = box 000 (Basis) + box 006 (Basis) Box 090 (Basis) = box 090 (Basis) – box 006 (Tax) Box 006 (Basis) = 0 Box 006 (Tax) = 0 Box 007 If box 007 (Basis) < 0, then Box 000 (Basis) = box 000 (Basis) + box 007 (Basis) Box 090 (Basis) = box 090 (Basis) – box 007 (Tax) Box 007 (Basis) = 0 Box 007 (Tax) = 0 Box 008 If box 008 (Basis) < 0, then Box 067 (Basis) = box 067 (Basis) + box 008 (Tax) Box 070 (Basis) = box 070 (Basis) – box 008 (Basis) Box 008 (Basis) = 0 Box 008 (Tax) = 0 Box 067 Box 067 = VTP [072 + 073 + 008New! + 088] - VTC [060 + 061 + 083 + 065 + 066 + 082 + 087 + 089 + 064] + VTC 062 Box 090 Box 090 = VTP [022 + 029 + 006 New! + 037 + 052 + 007 New! + 056 + 057 + 048 + 044 + 032].
