Germany Umsatzsteuer-Voranmeldung

Hello,
the Form “Umsatzsteuer-Voranmeldung” for germany was discussed 3-4 years ago here:

I have noticed that the current report still does not cover every mandatory box.


Goods imported from outside the EU

Right now many users – me included – post these purchases with the tax code “igE 19 % (89/61) RC”.
However, that code is technically wrong: boxes 89 (net) and 61 (VAT) are reserved for intra-Community acquisitions of goods.
True third-country imports have to be declared via box 62 (input VAT on imports); the net amount is not shown in the UVA because the tax is paid directly to customs.


Services purchased from outside the EU

These belong in box 85 (taxable amount), box 84 (VAT due) and box 67 (input-tax credit).
At the moment Manager maps them to 89 / 61 as well, which is incorrect.


I am not an accountant, so it would be great if a professional bookkeeper could add further details.
The boxes mentioned above are probably not the only ones that are missing or mis-mapped.

Thank you very much for your help! :slightly_smiling_face:

hallo engel, if you read on in that post " Germany " you will find this note:

the currently offered German Localisation does not claim to
be complete, but offers a basic setup to start.
More Accounts, tax codes, report categories, report transformations
required for other types of businesses can be added by users

as for “igE 19 % (89/61) RC”. igE is just an Abbr for Inngemeinschaftlicher
Erwerb = intra-Community acquisitions of goods

For goods purchased from outside the EU look at TaxCode EUSt (62)

talk to your consultant for any other requirements, setup your Tax Codes
and Report Transformations accordingly.

hope that helps
