Discovered a mistake in your VAT return after submitting it via Intervat? You\u2019re certainly not the only one. The good news is that you can correct your error, as long as the statutory filing deadline has not passed. Previously, it was also possible to submit a correction to your VAT return after the statutory filing deadline, but as of 1 January 2025, this will no longer be allowed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how can you still rectify a mistake? Let’s dive into it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Correcting an error in your VAT return after the deadline<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From this year, several changes to VAT regulations will come into effect. New deadlines for the submission and filing of periodic returns are being introduced, and the ability to correct errors in your VAT return after the statutory filing deadline has passed will be abolished.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what should you do if you discover a material error in your VAT return after the statutory filing deadline? In that case, you can include a correction in your next return.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Correcting an error in your VAT return before the deadline<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before the statutory filing deadline passes, you can still correct your mistake. You do this by cancelling the previous return and replacing it with the correct one.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26a0\ufe0f Please note, this is only possible if the statutory filing deadline has not yet passed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Go to Intervat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Go to Intervat (you can use this link<\/a>) and log in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to adjust a return for your sole proprietorship, select “in own name.” If you have a company, select “on behalf of a business.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Cancel the previous return.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Go to ‘My declarations’ and cancel the previous return.

Step 3: Upload a new periodic return<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Then upload the correct return. You can do this as you normally would, either by file or by screen.
