A VAT unit is a group of VAT-taxable enterprises that are legally independent of each other but are closely linked financially, organizationally, and economically and therefore considered the same VAT-taxable enterprise. VAT units are not mandatory, but if created, constituent companies of the unit must belong to the same country, use the same currency, and one company must be designated as the representative company of the VAT unit. VAT units receive a specific tax ID intended only for tax returns. Constituent companies keep their tax ID used for commercial purposes.

Example

Enterprise A owes €300.000,00 of VAT taxes and enterprise B can recover €280.000,00 of VAT taxes. They form up as a VAT unit so that the two amounts balance out and must conjointly only pay €20.000,00 of VAT taxes.

Configurazione

To configure a VAT unit, go to Settings ‣ General Settings, scroll down to the Companies section, and click Manage Companies. Select the company to serve the representative role, and in the General Information tab, fill in the mandatory fields for the .XML export when exporting the tax report: Company Name, Address, VAT, Currency, Phone, and Email.

General information tab

Then, click on the VAT Units tab, Add a line, and either select an existing VAT unit, or create a new one. Enter a name for the unit, Country of the constituent companies and tax report, the Companies, the Main Company that serves the representative role, and the Tax ID of the VAT unit.

Posizione di bilancio

As transactions between constituents of the same VAT unit are not subject to VAT, it is possible to create a tax mapping (fiscal position) to avoid the application of VAT on inter-constituent transactions.

Assicurati che sia stata selezionata una società costituente, quindi accedi all’app Contabilità ‣ Configurazione ‣ Posizioni fiscali e Crea una nuova posizione fiscale. Fai clic sulla scheda Mappatura fiscale, seleziona la Imposta sul prodotto solitamente applicata alle transazioni non costituenti e nel campo Imposta da applicare, seleziona l’imposta dello 0% da applicare alle transazioni costituenti.

Fai lo stesso per la scheda Mappatura conto, se necessario, e ripeti questa procedura per ogni azienda costituente del database.

Example

A seconda del pacchetto di localizzazione, le tasse possono variare rispetto alla schermata visualizzata.

Tax mapping of fiscal position for VAT unit

Then, assign the fiscal position by opening the Contacts app. Search for a constituent company, and open the contact’s card. Click the Sales & Purchase tab, and in the Fiscal Position field, input the fiscal position created for the VAT unit. Repeat the process for each constituent company card form, on each company database.

Resoconto fiscale

The representative company can access the aggregated tax report of the VAT unit by going to Accounting ‣ Reporting ‣ Tax Report, and selecting the VAT unit in Tax Unit. This report contains the aggregated transactions of all constituents and the .XML export contains the name and VAT number of the main company.
