Under Finanzen, MwSt-Abrechnung (Finances, VAT return) MeisterOffice prepares the figures for the quarterly return to the Federal Tax Administration (ESTV).
How to proceed
- Choose the year and quarter.
- Check the key figures: gross revenue, your VAT method (with the rate included for the net tax rate method) and the VAT owed.
- Download the return as a PDF, as the basis for the ESTV’s online form or for your accountant.
The table below lists every invoice issued in the quarter with number, date and amount, so every figure can be traced.
Requirements
The return relies on your VAT settings in the company profile: liable for VAT, method (effective or net tax rate) and rate. If something is missing, the page points this out with a warning and links straight to the settings.
Good to know
- Under the net tax rate method, MeisterOffice calculates the VAT owed directly with your approved rate.
- Cancelled invoices do not count towards revenue, the cancel-instead- of-delete principle pays off here.
