The subtotal in the “NL Draft VAT Tax Return” is not calculated correct.  
The report for this quarter shows me  
Line 1aTax to be paid is € 4708  
Line 5b VAT on purchases is € 257  
Subtotal shows € 4452

Every calculator tells me that the subtotal is € 4451,-  
Can you please correct this.  
Kind regards,  
Hennie

It appears to be an issue of when the rounding is occurring, say

4708,45 = 4708  
256,55 = 257

But 4708,45 - 256,55 = 4451,90 or 4452

@Brucanna is correct. I think the report could be improved so `5b` field would add up already rounded figures. This way the report itself wouldn’t show anomaly like this.

In addition, the way I remember this is that with Dutch tax you are allowed to round to your own benefit. E.g.; in terms of tax to be paid you can/should round down. In tax paid you are allowed to round up.
