VIES has its own monthly reporting cadence, separate from quarterly VAT reporting.

Review setup

  1. Open Set up VAT returns.
  2. Check the filing TIN and choose the appropriate VIES opt-in or opt-out for the company.
  3. Open Review for the VIES return you need to file.

Saving setup changes both the relevant company information and VAT-return settings under their separate access controls.

Record an XML filing result

  1. Select Download TFA XML for the VIES return.
  2. Upload that file in Tax For All.
  3. Select I uploaded it to Tax For All in Cybooks.
  4. Record Accepted or Rejected from the external filing result.

Cybooks keeps the downloaded figures as an immutable filing snapshot. Acceptance completes the VIES return from those figures. Completing VIES does not post a journal or advance the filed-period tax lock. A VAT filing has different accounting effects, so do not treat the two returns as interchangeable.
