VAT return and ICP listing differ, tax office asks for clarification
Intra-EU supplies must match across both filings. Invoice date versus supply date shifts amounts between quarters.
Try this first
- 1Per quarter pull the ICP listing and compare totals against VAT return line 3b
- 2Find invoices that sit in one quarter for VAT but the other for ICP
- 3Verify customer VAT numbers (VIES) at invoice date
- 4Correct via suppletie or in the next quarter depending on the amount
When to bring us in
On a tax office letter, involve the accountant for the formal response and any penalty discussion.
