VAT requirements

Please write requirements of Your country here . Please check which are fulfilled and how it is done

Common EU requirements

1. Tax Code of Seller and buyer on Invoice

Implemented see OFBIZ-362

2. Prices with VAT in webshop

Implemented

3. Configuration of VAT GL Account

Is it done ? Should it be per rate - different accounts for collected and duty tax for each rate ?

See point 7. We need at least an incoming tax (sales) GLAccount and an outgoing tax (purchase) GLAccount.

4. Discounts applied per line

Currently OFbiz applies global discount on invoice level. This is not valid for VAT. For VAT amount for each line must be known, so discounts have to be applied per line.

5. Reporting

 In some countries (Poland,Italy, France, more ?) there is need for monthly or quaterly VAT report with all sales and purchases. Reports can be separated per "Registry". Each registry contains separate type of transactions. E.G  EU sales, EU buys, Non EU Buys, Non EU Sells.

 6. Dates

There is not always direct connection between invoice date and VAT. E.g in Poland if purchase invoice is received more than 2 months from purchase it will not decrease amount of VAT to be paid. Some invoice can be not valid.

For Export invoice there can be requiremnt for document which will confirm that goods has been exported (to apply 0% VAT)

 7. Purchase order VAT

I will implement this shortly the following way: (have a customer who wants it)

1. add a second glAccountId for outgoing tax to the
TaxAuthorityGlAccount.
2. adjust the programs to calculate the vat (sales tax) on purchase
orders the same way as sales orders, but use for the productstoreId a
blank entry.

8. Shipment cost VAT

 Shipment cost should be VAT aware (amount shoudl be split  for netto + VAT on invoices)

9. Rounding
