Filings & deadlines

Filings & deadlines: everything filed with the tax authority and everything due

One screen for VAT, VIES, SAF-T and the annual close: see what is filed, what is due and when. An accountant checks and files, and you get an email with the files.

  • Filed by an accountant
  • Files emailed on filing
  • Full filing history

Demo: the Filings screen shows what is due, for example VAT by 14 November and Forms 1 and 6 by 25 November, and what is filed. The period's VAT is generated, an accountant checks it and files it with the tax authority, the status becomes Filed, and the owners get an email with the NRA PDF and the report. The submission history keeps the version, the reference number and the files. Data is sample data.

Deadlines

The main deadlines, in brief

As a reminder. See the links below for the current rules.

VAT return, ledgers and VIES for the previous month

30 June

How it works

From generating to filing: who does what

You upload the documents. The system and your accountant do the rest.

You upload and issue documents

All sales and purchases of the period go into the books.

Ledgers are generated

With Generate ledgers and return the system arranges documents into ledgers, the return and VIES.

An accountant checks and files

They review the result and file with the tax authority under a qualified e-signature, by power of attorney.

The period becomes Filed

The period is locked, and owners and managers get an email with the files.

Who does what

You decide, the accountant files

You need no e-signature and no tax-portal account.

A person checks every VAT return

Monthly VAT returns are checked and signed by an accountant before they are filed.

Filed with a qualified e-signature

Returns to the tax authority are filed by a qualified accountant under a power of attorney.

Filed means locked

A filed period cannot be changed. A correction is a new version, and the earlier one stays in the history.

Everything is kept

Each filing keeps its files, its reference number and the emails sent.

A deadline missed through our fault? We cover the fine up to €1,000 per case, provided we received the complete data and the power of attorney on time. The details are in the terms (section 8).
