- Keep VAT accounting records
- File a periodic VAT return
- Submit an annual recapitulative return
- Pay local VAT
- Submit a statement of your intra-EU transactions
- Filling in an Intrastat declaration
- Is the filing of declarations and statements done in paper or electronic format?
- When should the data be sent to the tax authorities?
