The VAT form


The contents of this form are generated using the VAT codes specified in the chart of accounts. Each field has a corresponding field code (generally the number / ID listed next to the field on the form). To calculate the field contents, all transactions on accounts with that VAT code are added together, for the given time period.

Choose the time period using the controls at the bottom. The length of the time period is automatically determined by the selected setting under the 'VAT' sidebar item in the 'Settings' group.

At the end of the VAT period you can press 'Create entry…' to create an entry that empties all debt/equity accounts with a VAT code set into an account of your choice. This entry is automatically placed on the last day of the VAT period.
