ALERT: From V12 P28 (2021 R4) - SWI Legislation: The Swiss VAT Declaration is now fully managed through the VAT Framework functions

Swiss Customers will take advantage of the process improvements offered by the new VAT framework to easier and faster generate their tax returns to submit.

 From the V12 P28 (2021 R4) and upper releases

  • The previous Swiss VAT declaration function DCLVATSWI is deprecated.
  • DCLVATSWI can no longer be executed through a recurring task code (GESABA)​
  • Global VAT parameter SWIVAT is no longer required to extract the Swiss VAT return
  • Execute reports SWIVATFORMDR (Swiss declaration reprint) to reprint declarations generated prior to this update

 The Swiss VAT declaration has been integrated into the global VAT Framework.​ Within the VAT framework, the following functionalities are available:​

  • Definition of VAT boxes (GESVTB) using the new setup DCLVATSWI.​
  • Creation of a VAT form (GESVEF) based on the VAT box setup DCLVATSWI.
  • Creation of the VAT return (GESVFE) to calculate amounts to declare for a defined period.​

The VAT Framework provides improved traceability, with the ability to store the result of the extraction, to track potential adjustments, to drill down from a box up to the transactions.​ It allows to trigger batch processes and supports the extraction of VAT returns for VAT entities (groups of companies/sites).

At the application of the V12 P28 Patch or upper releases, it is mandatory to review and adapt these settings according to your VAT configuration. You can find further documentation on the basics of the VAT framework functions in the online help (Product Help>Declarations>Tax Management>Others) and in the Swiss legislation guide.

Limitation

For the initial delivery only VAT declaration based on VAT on debit are supported. VAT on payment will not be supported. The respective fields in the VAT return will be hidden!
