VAT return

W_TVA_GRID_5657_INCORRECT_VALUE

W_TVA_GRID_55_INCORRECT_VALUE

Grid 86/88 vs. 55

There are values in cell 86/88, but value in cell 55 is 0€ → - This is most likely due to an incorrect encoding of intra-EU expenses. - It may happen that one provider is not eligible to reverse-charge and thus charged 0% VAT

VAT Return

W_TVA_GRID_00_SUM_INCORRECT_VALUE

The amount of transactions subjects to special arrangements (grid 00) is greater than the total of transactions in Grids 81 to 85

This often happens when you sell your business as a whole. As the sale of your business is a large amount, this amount will probably be higher in the declaration in cells 81 to 85.

It's enough to justify it in the tab on intervat by 'putting sale of business according to article 11 VAT code'. You can also add the sales invoice in the tab 'justify' on intervat.
