⁣⁣This tutorial will show how you can file your IOSS return. First of all you need to check if you have added your existing IOSS registration number and check if the transactions for the reporting period are already added or they have to be uploaded first. After the information about your IOSS number and transactions is uploaded you can file the return.
Select the country where you are registered for IOSS and the reporting period. The system calculates the IOSS return divided by the countries automatically according to your transactions for all the European countries where you had sales during the needed to be reported period.
If you do not agree with any of the sums written in the IOSS return or if you had sales through another sales channel which you hadn’t added to Lovat platform you can change this information manually by just putting the necessary amount to added or deducted to your revenue. In the last section of your IOSS return preparation you can once again check the information about your revenue divided by European countries where you had sales and the VAT sum calculated according to the VAT rate of this or another country..
You can save this report for your records or submit this IOSS return on your own if you have such possibility. You can submit it immediately by clicking “Submit” or save it as a draft for the later submission. After submission the IOSS return will be submitted to the tax authorities.

⁣In this video
we concentrate on and give additional information about such section as
“Intra-Community Acquisitions and Supplies”. This is the 4-th section when
you’re filling your VAT return on LOVAT platform. There are 2 steps with 2
types possible for each step here.

Let’s start
with “Intra-Community Acquisition”

The first type here is purchase of goods from Supplier of other EU country. For
example, you’re submitting your German VAT return but bought goods from Belgium
supplier at the same time and paid him 1000 EUR for the supply of these goods.
From his side he will invoice you with so-called “reverse charge invoice”. It
means that VAT should paid by us in the destination country – Germany in our
case.

All such
reverse charge invoices containing your German VAT number should be filled on
this step. The second type for this step is when you’re moving your own goods
from one country to another. For example we send our goods from our Polish
warehouse to our German warehouse during this month. In this case we should
invoice ourselves to our German VAT number from our Polish VAT number. Let’s
fill it – we’ve invoiced ourselves for 2000 EUR with standard rate. The VAT sum
is 380 EUR. We fill our Polish VAT number here and add this record as well.



Now we’re
moving to another part of this section – Intra-community supplies. Here can be
two types of operations as well.

The first
one is sales to customer with VAT number in another country.

The second
type of operations here is regarding the movement of goods.

After we
filled this step – below you can see an opportunity to order a Sales List
report. This is a special report for these kind of sales or movement of goods
operating with another VAT number. It is a mandatory report if you had any and
you can check if it is already available in your subscription or order it.
Sales List report will be automatically formed along with your VAT return.

"Stores" and "Tax Settings"

Now, let's go to the Sales Tax section.

This section is intended only for the American market. If you have sales in the American market, then you need to add all sales tax permits.

Only after you add at least one sales tax permit you will see the sales tax return section.

For states where you have already added sales tax permits, you will have an understanding of the nexus.

If you want the Lovat platform to calculate the economic nexus for other states - please click "Calculate threshold for economic nexus for all
states" - and then you will see on the dashboard in which states you are approaching the nexus.
