VAT return

Report automatically, completely and error-free with the Primus add-On

In accordance with § 18 UStG, companies in Germany are obliged to submit their preliminary VAT return (UStVA) electronically to the tax office via ELSTER®. The standard function “EMEA VAT Reporting” of the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) only covers this requirement to a limited extent: it provides several lists that have to be manually consolidated and transferred into the ELSTER format. A time-consuming and error-prone process that is also only open to customers with an active Oracle support contract.

The Primus add-on: VAT return at the push of a button

With our add-on for preliminary VAT returns, you can eliminate this manual effort. The core of the solution is an ELSTER interface integrated into EBS, which automatically collects and validates all the necessary data and transfers it into an XML file, which you can check and transfer to the ELSTER portal.

Your advantages

High-performance data collection
Instead of accessing individual transactions in GL, AP and AR, the add-on performs a targeted data extraction at the end of the month or quarter. This ensures that your production systems remain performant, while all relevant amounts are available exactly at the reporting date.

Precise transaction tagging
Each posting selected for the current reporting period is marked; non-reportable sales, for example due to a missing service date, are retained by the system and automatically suggested in the subsequent report.

Automatic filling of the ELSTER boxes
Base assessment and tax amounts are transferred into the correct fields; plausibility checks provide additional support.

Verification & export
You can export the reporting data to Excel with a click of the mouse, reconcile it with the recapitulative statement if necessary, and archive it in an audit-proof manner.
