VAT return (UStVA)

The tax status hub and the advance VAT return with the EC sales list.

Tax status hub

Three panels: the next VAT return (October 2026, due Nov 10, 2026), an OSS counter ('0.00 of 10,000.00 this year'), and the list of monthly deadlines. Below: ZM line count, 'Check against the filed return', profit determination and taxation basis (accrual basis).

In short

Read only: the UStVA and the ZM are prepared here and filed by a person. A permanent extension (Dauerfristverlängerung (permanent one-month extension for VAT returns)) is a tick box in the company profile; without it the statutory dates are used.

Compare a deadline with the Overview reminders.

Good to know

  • The OSS return itself is not built; only the counter is.
  • There is no direct filing to ELSTER.

In short

Output tax minus input tax gives the payment: 1,472.50 minus 481.22 is 991.28. Exports sit on their own line. The EC sales list is empty because there are no intra-EU supplies in the period.
