Value Added Tax Return Criteria

The Value Added Tax Return (VAT) Criteria screen allows you to define the input criteria used to select Value Added Tax Detail instances to include on the VAT tax return. The VAT Return process updates the VAT detail records with the VAT Return Date and generates the VAT Return report. For a VAT detail record to be included in a VAT Return, it can not have been included on a previous VAT Return. For more information about the report, see Value Added Tax Detail (Report).
