Understanding the VAT report

The VAT report is structured in blocks with several numbered boxes. Ledger accounts are assigned to different VAT codes, which determine in what blocks and boxes the VAT will be presented.

All accounts in your chart of account in Visma eEkonomi Smart are set according to the BAS Accounting Plan standards and have specific VAT codes linked to them. If you create a new account, it is important to know whether the account should be assigned a VAT code, and if so, which code.

The various blocks in the report are summarised and the total VAT to pay or VAT to be refunded is shown in the last box on the bottom of the report. Visma eEkonomi Smart calculates the sum of all boxes for you, based on the journal entries for the VAT period you are reporting for. You do not have to make any calculations yourself.
