The return follows the layout of the Dutch return form. So you can immediately see which amounts you need to copy over. {% hint style="info" %} The VAT return currently only works for Dutch Administration. {% endhint %} ### Create VAT return When it is time for the return, an open task appears on the **Home**-dashboard. By clicking it, you immediately create a draft return. The return is built based on the current state of your accounting. As long as the return is not yet final, you can update it. Powerall then recalculates the return based on the most recent entries. ### Check return The return shows the amounts in the same structure as the Tax Administration form. This makes it easy to check and copy over the return. Click on an amount to view the underlying transactions. You will then immediately see which entries make up the amount. ### Process corrections If the total for the current year differs from what has already been reported as final, Powerall shows this difference as a correction. Do you not want to include these corrections in the return? Then click **Do not include corrections**. ### Create supplementary return Do you want to correct a previous return? Then create a new draft return and set **Is supplementary return** to **Yes**. Powerall then automatically calculates the difference between: * what has already been reported as final * the current state of the Administration That difference is then shown as a supplementary return. ### Private use If you want to record an adjustment for private use on the return, you can do this in two ways: * When posting a purchase invoice, you can mark (part of) the invoice as private. To do this, click in the [drop-down menu](/en/general/interface.md#actieknoppen) on 'Add private use'. * On the return, you can make an additional correction by clicking Add in section 1d (Private use). The recorded private use is automatically included in section 1d. ### Submit return You must always submit the VAT return yourself to the Tax Administration. Powerall does not send it automatically. Copy the amounts from Powerall Online into the Tax Administration's online return environment. Please note that Powerall does not know which data you ultimately report. For any corrections, Powerall always assumes what is stated in the earlier (final) returns, not what was actually reported. ### Documents After the return, the Tax Administration gives you the option to download the return as a PDF. You can upload this under the heading 'Documents' with the return in Powerall Online. This way, it is archived immediately. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
