VAT return
A VAT return that is already waiting
Because your sales and purchases are already in your bookkeeping, TelMaar does not have to collect anything extra for your VAT return: the figures are there.
At the end of each period the return is ready on the basis of your administration, exactly as the tax authority expects it.
Not every entrepreneur falls under the same scheme. TelMaar knows the small businesses scheme, reverse-charge VAT, intra-Community supply within the EU and export outside the EU, and applies the right scheme on the invoice and in the return.
If you supply business customers within the EU, the ICP declaration per VAT number is ready alongside your return for the same period, because those two are supposed to match.

Why the VAT return does not have to be a quarterly chore
Every quarter the same evening: adding up sales invoices, gathering purchase receipts, finding the reverse-charged VAT amount from the subcontractor and hoping it adds up. A forgotten receipt is VAT you leave behind; a wrong rate is an additional assessment with interest.
In TelMaar every invoice is already in the books with the right VAT rate per line, and every purchase invoice with the input tax. The return is therefore not a separate job but an overview that is already ready: box by box, with the amounts as the tax authority wants to see them.
Reverse charge, small business scheme and checks beforehand
If you work as a subcontractor in construction, VAT is often reverse charged to the main contractor. TelMaar puts those invoices at zero VAT with the right wording and counts them in the right box of the return. If you use the small business scheme, you see whether you are still under the threshold.
Before you file, TelMaar shows what stands out: a purchase invoice without a VAT number, an invoice with an unusual rate, a period with open drafts. You resolve it and file the return through your accountant or yourself, with the figures you checked here.
