In addition to the periodic VAT statements that you submit to settle VAT, the tax authorities can require that you submit periodic reports of transactions that include VAT. If you are a resident of a country/region in the EU, you must also submit a VIES declaration for trade with other EU countries/regions. In most cases, the required report must have general information about the company name and the reporting period, and it must have lines or groups of lines that describe the GST-related transactions. In Microsoft Dynamics NAV, in the GST Report window, you can define these reports much like you create documents such as orders, invoices, and CR/Adj Notes. You can fill in the lines based on GST entries, and then export the GST report to the appropriate authorities. Depending on your country/region and the type of GST report that you have set up, the report can be exported in different formats.

For detailed information about how Microsoft Dynamics NAV supports GST reports in your country/region, search the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Help collection.

VAT and VIES Report Configuration

Before you can create GST reports, you must specify a number series that will be used for GST reports and you must specify if your company can make corrective GST reports. For more information, see How to: Set Up GST Reports.

You must also set up general information about how the GST reports will be created. As part of this, you must specify which processes must be used to print or export the reports. This configuration is performed in preconfigured codeunits. For more information, see How to: Configure GST Reports.

Important
You must be familiar with C/AL development in order to configure how GST reports are printed or exported.
