New procedure for electronic VAT reporting

Starting in 2022, a new procedure for electronic reporting of VAT in Norway was introduced. This involves a number of changes in reporting to the authorities - not related to VAT periods or reporting deadlines, but to the form of reporting.

Now, you can add specifications to the report as a part of the ordinary reporting. This is per account in the General ledger account table, in the VAT specification field, where there are four options:

1 - Adjustments
2 - Losses on claims
3 - Reversal of input value added tax
4 - Withdrawals

The reporting structure demands a 1:1 relationship between the general ledger account and the specification.

You can also send specific remarks with the VAT reporting. These remarks are pre-configured from the Norwegian tax authorities, and accessible from the VAT code explanation table.

You no longer need to send a deviation (or change) message, instead you need to send the entire report again if you need to change the reporting, and the latest report replaces the previous report.

Even if there were no changes in the actual calculation of VAT, it is important that all VAT codes in Business NXT are connected with the correct SAF-T tax code, otherwise the reporting will fail. This should be in place already, as a part of the generic SAF-T reporting that currently is required. This means in fact that the VAT reporting has been expanded from the previous 19 postings to a maximum of 41 from 2022.
