\n

Oops: you just filed your VAT submission and realized an invoice or expense is missing? Don’t panic, you can easily submit a correction of your tax return. Here is what you can do.<\/b><\/p>\n

\n

Please note that you should not do this recklessly. A correction can always lead to a tax audit if the values differ greatly. If this is the case, please contact your tax coaches. We will be happy to help you with this.<\/i><\/b> <\/p>\n

\n

1- Mark the VAT presubmission as ‘not submitted’ + ‘not paid’ to unlock the VAT period<\/b><\/h1>\n

From the taxes screen, simply click on the 3-dots menu of the tax item and select “mark as not submitted” + “mark as not paid”, like shown below \u2b07\ufe0f<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\n

In case you also submitted a ZM (zusammenfassende Meldung) please mark the ZM also as “not submitted” right here:<\/p>\n

\n

<\/div>\n

\n

2- Encode your income\/expenses and assign them to the (now open for edit) VAT period<\/b><\/h1>\n

From the revenue\/expenses screen, add or edit your documents.<\/p>\n

In the “Additional information” section, assign the document to the required VAT quarter.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/div>\n

\n

3- File the VAT presubmission again<\/b><\/h1>\n

The system has now recomputed the VAT presubmission, including the documents you have just added.<\/p>\n

From the taxes screen, simply run the submission again.<\/p>\n

This will send a correction to the Finanzamt.<\/p>\n

\n
