File your VAT return

Beyond configuring VAT rates, SynkriaOps prepares your VAT return: it aggregates the VAT collected on your sales and the deductible VAT on your purchases, computes the net VAT to pay (or the credit), and produces the statements to file.

VAT is filed by period (generally monthly). Each period aggregates the operations whose tax point falls within the interval. SynkriaOps opens periods according to your regime and fiscal year.

If your activity mixes taxable and exempt operations, not all purchase VAT is deductible: a deduction proration applies. It is configured per fiscal year and automatically weights the deductible VAT retained in the return.

  1. Open the module

    Main menu → Tax / VATReturns.

  2. Choose the period

    Select the period to file. SynkriaOps shows the VAT collected, the deductible VAT (weighted by the proration) and the estimated net VAT.

  3. Check consistency

    Run the consistency check: it compares the declared amounts against the VAT entries and flags any gap before filing.

  4. Generate the return

    Generate the return. The detailed lines (bases and taxes by rate) are produced.

  5. File

    Mark the return as filed once transmitted to the administration. A filed period is locked.

A VAT dashboard gives a continuous view: estimated net VAT for the current period, regimes in force, configured VAT accounts. Useful to anticipate the amount to pay before the deadline.

The return exports to PDF (for archiving and filing), CSV and XLSX (for reprocessing). The exports follow SynkriaOps’ consistent statement presentation.
