Once the accountant has activated the settings for the tax authorities, you as an entrepreneur must approve the VAT return (after verification by the accountant), after which it is sent directly to the tax authorities
Important deadline
The VAT return must be approved before the end of the month following the accounting period. This ensures that the tax authorities receives the return and any payment on time.
Permissions
The VAT return can only be approved by a user in the domain with the 'Management', 'Financial administration', or 'External accountant' role.
How do you know VAT return is ready?
When the audit by the accountant is completed, the status of the VAT return in the overview changes from 'Draft' to 'Ready to be sent'.
In addition, the designated contact person (set under 'Who will receive messages about the VAT return?') immediately receives two notifications:
- a message in the personal Yuki Po Box

- a notification by email in the regular mailbox

Approve VAT return (of Fiscal unity)
To open, check, and submit the audited VAT return:
- click on the Financials icon in the navigation bar
- click on VAT return
- in the now-opened screen, click on the relevant VAT return (status 'Ready to be sent').
The following screen is opened:
- if you have any further questions about the VAT return, click on the I still have a question button to send a notification directly to your accountant
- click on the Approve button to approve the VAT return audited by the accountant
The following screen is opened:
- click on the Send immediately button to actually and definitively send the VAT return to the tax authorities.
Status after submission
As soon as the tax authorities has digitally confirmed receipt of the VAT return, the status in Yuki changes automatically. The return will then receive the status 'Closed' both in the document itself and in the overview.
