Filing VAT returns and reports

Together with the main VAT return form KMD, a person liable to VAT must also submit the annex KMD INF on a monthly basis.

There is an obligation to declare in part A of the form KMD INF the sales invoices containing supply at the rate of 24%, 13%, 9% and, according to subsection 27 of § 46 of the VAT Act, in exceptional cases 5%, and in case of credit invoices in exceptional cases at the rate of 22%, 20% and 5%, and in part B the purchase invoices containing supply at the rate of 24%, 13%, 9% and in exceptional cases 5%, and in case of credit invoices in exceptional cases at the rate of 22%, 20% and 5%, if the total amount of sales or purchase invoices without VAT per transaction partner is at least 1,000 euros.

If the information declared on the KMD INF form is inaccurate, this may lead to problems in tax behaviour ratings and may also be the reason why the company’s VAT return is redirected to control. If tax behaviour ratings show differences compared to the KMD INF submitted by a transaction partner, the transaction partner should first be consulted for clarification.
