| To set up electronic VAT declaration |  |
| This functionality is specific for Germany. To set up the master data for the tax declaration, take the following steps: In the Tax Declaration Master (tfgld1620m000) session, create the VAT declaration master. Enter the file name and the path of the ASCII file. On the Tax Positions by Tax Declaration Master tab, on the Specific menu, click Initialize. ERP LN creates the declaration layout. For each field to be entered, ERP LN creates a separate line. For some lines, default values are available. In other fields, you must enter a value. You must especially create tax positions for the VAT declaration amount fields that are applicable to your business. A tax position groups the tax codes that contribute to a specific declaration amount and links the tax codes to the box on the tax declaration. In the Tax Positions (tfgld0120m000) session, create the required tax positions, and the links to the tax codes by country. Next, select the tax positions in the VAT declaration lines on the Tax Positions by Tax Declaration Master tab of the Tax Declaration Master (tfgld1620m000) session. To complete the VAT declaration master, supply the required tag contents. For each VAT declaration master line for which the User-defined Tag Content checkbox is selected, you must manually enter a fixed tag content in the Tax Positions by Tax Declaration Master (tfgld1121m000) session. Among other tags, mandatory tags are the following: ‘Landesnummer’ ‘Steuernummer’ ‘Finanzamt’ The name and the address data of the ‘Absender’ (the sender) and the ‘Datenlieferant’ (the declarant). Important! If the ‘Steuernummer’ field is left empty, ERP LN uses the Fiscal Identification from the General Company Data (tccom0102s000) session. Leave all other fields in the Tax Positions by Tax Declaration Master (tfgld1121m000) session unchanged, except if other changes are required for changed formats and so on.
