VAT codes
Tax rates and related accounts are managed structurally in the accounts.
Review VAT within ongoing accounting
fibu3 connects Swiss VAT codes with entries, invoice lines and reports, keeping output and input VAT traceable to the relevant transaction.
Input and output VAT
Entries distinguish the relevant tax types and amounts.
VAT reports
Reports summarise values by period and tax type.
VAT as part of the transaction
A suitable VAT code can be used for journal entries and invoice lines. fibu3 calculates and posts the relevant shares according to configured rates and accounts.
VAT reports present output and input VAT in a structured way. They support preparation and review of accounting data but do not replace individual tax assessment or filing with the Federal Tax Administration.
Connected to invoices and journals
VAT is not maintained in a separate list. Values arise from the underlying entries and invoice lines and can therefore be traced back to the transaction.
