Note that the VAT periods and the financial periods configured in the system can differ.

Example: The periods: 04-2022 - starts on 01 April and ends 30 April 2022 05-2022 - starts on 01 May and ends 31 May 2022 If the document date is 30 April 2022, but the period is set to May. Then the VAT will use the last date in period 5 for the document, which is 31 May. The date used for the VAT calculation will then be 31.05.2022 - and not 30.04.2021. For the monthly-based VAT report, the system will report it for the VAT period 05-2021. Select the check box if you want the VAT to always follow the posted period end date.
