What this screen is for
This screen turns one month of trading into the VAT3 return boxes. T1 is VAT on sales, T2 is VAT on purchases, and T3 or T4 is the net amount payable or repayable. Below those you get the EU boxes: E1 and E2 for goods dispatched to and acquired from other member states, ES1 and ES2 for services. A second panel shows supplies and purchases net of VAT, so you can see the turnover behind each box. Figures are summed from the VAT components stored on each document line.
When to use it
Use it when preparing a VAT3 period for an Irish registration. Choose the month and year at the top, review the boxes against your own expectations, and print a copy for your records.
What you see on this screen
The heading carries your company name, VAT number and country.
Three cards: T1 - VAT on sales, T2 - VAT on purchases, and a third reading T3 - VAT payable or T4 - VAT repayable.
VAT3 Boxes is a table of code, label and amount:
- T1 VAT on sales
- T2 VAT on purchases
- T3 Net VAT payable
- T4 Net VAT repayable
- E1 Goods to other EU members
- E2 Goods from other EU members
- ES1 Services to other EU members
- ES2 Services from other EU members
Supplies & Purchases (net of VAT) then shows the turnover behind those boxes: Taxable supplies (standard/reduced rated), Zero-rated / exempt supplies, Total supplies and Deductible purchases.
Where the period includes EU trade, a note appears beneath the table. A footnote states the figures are summed from the stored per-line VAT components, so T1 and T2 reconcile with your sales and purchase ledgers.
