Submit VAT returns electronically

  • Article

In the Danish localization, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central supports using the Danish Tax Agency's VAT API to report value-added tax (VAT) returns.

Important

This feature allows to report draft VAT Return version to skat.dk website from Business Central. You will still need to manually login into your account on the tax authorities site, review the draft and submit it finally. Reporting such draft needs to be set up first in the tax authorities account. (See “Onboarding legal entities” on skat.dk)

Note

Before you begin, make sure that the VAT Return E-Submission app has been installed and enabled.

To generate a VAT return and send it directly to the Danish Tax Agency's VAT API, complete the following setup:

  • On the Company Information page, configure the Registration No. and VAT Registration No. fields for the legal entity. In the Registration No. field, enter the legal entity's Central Business Register (CVR) number.
  • On the VAT Posting Setup SAF-T page, associate a VAT posting group setup with Sales VAT Reporting Code and Purchase VAT Reporting Code.
  • Obtain certificates to work with the Danish Tax Agency's VAT API, and store them in the Azure key vault.

Set up VAT return submission

Complete the following procedures to set up VAT return submission.

Set up certificates

Note

If you use Business Central online, you do not need to configure your certificates, as you will use preinstalled Microsoft security certificate for VAT submission.

If you use on-premises Business Central version, before you begin the setup, an administrator must configure the certificates using the following procedure:

  1. Select the Magnifying glass button that opens the Tell Me feature. icon, enter Certificates, and then select the related link.
  2. Select New to create a client certificate. This certificate is a company certificate (VOCES3) that's issued by MitID Erhverv (OCES3). It must include a private key for signing.
  3. Select New to create a server certificate. This certificate is a certificate that NemVirksomhed provides to verify response XML.

Note

If you opt for the online option, the Microsoft Denmark A/S CVR number must be used to authorize your Business Central in your company's skat.dk profile. This allows the Business Central to submit VAT drafts, as Microsoft already provides a default certificate for connecting to the skat.dk.

Set up electronic VAT declaration

Follow these steps to configure the electronic VAT declaration:

  1. Select the Magnifying glass button that opens the Tell Me feature. icon, enter Electronic VAT Declaration Setup, and then select the related link.
  2. On the Electronic VAT Declaration Setup page, enter your legal SE/CVR number in the ERP SE Number field as a number used to report the VAT return to Skat service. Once you enter your CVR number, you'll have to give a consent that your data would be shared with the third party system (skat.dk) in this process. If you agree, you need to select the I accept button.

  4. On the VAT Report Setup page, select the Return Period FastTab, and verify that the Report Version field contains the DK ELE.VAT setup report version that you previously configured.
  5. The Manual Receive Codeunit ID field where you can specify the codeunit ID associated with a manual receipt of the VAT return periods. If codeunit 13610 is selected, the Manual Receive Codeunit Caption field will be automatically populated with the Elec. VAT Decl. Get Periods value.

Set up VAT statements

  2. On the VAT Statements page, create a new VAT statement by using the VAT Statement Name page, or use a default statement.

  4. Select the Magnifying glass button that opens the Tell Me feature. icon, enter VAT Return E-Submission Setup, and then select the related link.

Use and submit a VAT return

Follow these steps to submit a VAT return:

  1. Select the Magnifying glass button that opens the Tell Me feature. icon, enter VAT Return Periods, and then select the related link.
  2. Select Get VAT Return Periods. Dynamics 365 Business Central contacts the VirksomhedKalenderHent endpoint and gets VAT return periods for your company.

  4. Select Suggest Lines to get suggested and created lines/records for the VAT return.
  5. When you check and confirm the validity of the suggested lines, select Release to protect any changes in the VAT return before you submit the return.
  6. When you're ready to submit the VAT return, select Submit to generate the XML body for the request and submit the request to the ModtagMomsangivelseForeloebig service.

If the process is done correctly, you receive a "Request has been submitted" message, and the VAT return's status is changed to Submitted.

You can double-check the request message for the VAT return later by choosing the Download action.

After a VAT return is submitted

You won't always know the final status that's confirmed by the authorities. Therefore, Business Central regularly checks the MomsangivelseKvitteringHent service through the configured endpoint, to look for any response about submitted VAT returns. If a response is available, it's received, and the status of the company's VAT return is changed to Accepted or Rejected.

You can download a Response message by selecting Download. If the status is Accepted, you can save the receipt link for the VAT return.
