Change to the new VAT zone

From 1 January 2015, companies registered for VAT purposes in Sweden must report their VAT on goods import (not services) to the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) instead of paying it to the customs services (Tullverket). This topic tells you how to change to the new zone in Visma.net ERP and how to view the consequential changes made to for example VAT categories and VAT IDs in the system.

  1. Go to theSuppliers (AP303000) window.
  2. In Supplier ID, select Tullverket.
  3. Click the Purchase settings tab.
  4. In VAT zone, select 05 – Export/import, Skatteverket.
  5. Click.
    You have now established the tax authorities as the receiver of the company's import taxes.

About VAT zones and VAT types

In the VAT zones window, you can now see that VAT zone 05 has been added. Use this only for the suppliers who send the purchase invoice to Customs (Tullverket). If you have this supplier in your records, you must apply this VAT zone. If you have used zone 05 for something else in your service, the new VAT zone in Visma.net ERP will be called 05I.

  1. Go to the VAT zones (TX206000) window.
  2. In the VAT zone ID field, select 05 – Export/import Skatteverket.
    The new VAT types are displayed, with VAT IDs ranging from 26 to 28.

About VAT categories

The new VAT categories have been numbered from 13-15. If you have used 13-15 for other purposes in your company, the new categories will be displayed with an I at the end, as in 13I.

  1. Go to the VAT categories (TX205500) window.
  2. In the VAT category ID field, click .
    The Select – VAT category ID dialog box is displayed.
  3. To use one of the new categories, select category IDs 13 through 15.

About VAT IDs

Several new VAT IDs with different rates have been added, from 26 to 28. There is one standalone value for each number and each number has additional values with letter suffixes.

  1. Go to the VAT (TX205000) window.
  2. In the VAT ID field, click.
    The Select – VAT ID dialog box is displayed.
  3. The number without a suffix is the VAT, and the others, with for example R or S, are for reverse and statistics.
    The statistics ID can be used for internal control of import VAT, it is not reported to the government. You use the reverse ID to balance the VAT.

New reporting settings

Visma.net ERP has added new report columns for import VAT – named H to I. The statistical report lines are hidden in the tables in the Prepare VAT report window and in the VAT report.

A sort order column has been added to control in what order the VAT lines are presented in the printed VAT paper report. Give 'G49 Moms att betala/få tillbaka' the highest sort order number to have it presented as the last line in the VAT report.

  1. Go to the Reporting settings (TX205100) window.
  2. In the VAT agency ID field, select 49999 Skatteverket.
    The Report lines tab displays all the taxable amounts and VAT amounts.
  3. In the Description column, look for categories starting with H or I, and you will see that they concern import taxable amounts. See example below.
