How to: Set Up Electronic VAT and ICP Declarations

  • Article

To get your Digipoort communications to work, you may have to adjust your network settings. Digipoort uses a secure communication protocol and requires using TCP port 443. Before proceeding with the following procedure, set up your network to use this port.

To be able to create electronic VAT and ICP declarations and communicate with the tax authorities, you must first set up general information about electronic tax declarations. Your company must be registered with the tax authorities before you can send electronic declarations.

To set up electronic tax declarations

  1. In the Search box, enter Elec. Tax Declaration Setup, and then choose the related link.

  2. In the Elec. Tax Declaration Setup window, on the General FastTab, select the VAT Contact Type. The options include Tax Payer and Agent. If the contact type is Tax Payer, the contact ID in the electronic declaration will be filled with the VAT Registration No. of the company.

  3. Select the ICP Contact Type. The options include Tax Payer and Agent.

  4. If you want to send electronic ICP declarations for a subsidiary company of a fiscal entity, select the Part of Fiscal Entity field.

  5. On the Numbering FastTab, enter the number series for the VAT Declaration Nos. field.

  6. On the Digipoort FastTab, enter the data needed for the Digipoort submissions.

    1. In the Digipoort Client Cert. Name field, enter the common name (CN) of the certificate you requested for use with Digipoort. You can find this information in the certificate properties of the personal certificate that you installed under the Personal folder in the procedure How to: Set Up Certificates for use with Digipoort.

    2. In the Digipoort Service Cert. Name field, enter the common name of the service certificate, which may be equal to the name of the server that that you are communicating with for the Dutch government. You can find this information in the certificate properties of the public certificate that was installed in the Trusted Publishers folder in the procedure How to: Set Up Certificates for use with Digipoort.

    3. In the Digipoort Delivery URL field, specify the URL for the production version of the Digipoort Aanlever service. For more information, see http://www.logius.nl/producten/gegevensuitwisseling/digipoort.

    4. In the Digipoort Status URL field, specify the URL for the status information that is coming from the Digipoort Statusinformatie service.

    For more information, see Digipoort Overview.

Currently, there are two sets of URLs that are provided by the Dutch Tax Administration. These are subject to change, however, and you should check the administration’s website regularly for updates.
