When reporting VAT, the users can decide them self it they should do the VAT clearing general ledger posting (ATR) in the Accounting periods (PAR) application or the reporting to Altinn first. But it is a good idea to create the VAT clearing general ledger posting (ATR) first, to make sure that everything is correct in the general ledger before reporting to Altinn.

After reporting to Altinn, it is recommended to close the period(s) in the Accounting periods (PAR) application. This is to avoid having new entries added to the reported period, which could affect the reported VAT.

Add Attachments in the VATALTINN application

In the Include attachments field the users can add files as attachments in the VATALTINN application by uploading them. When clicking the Upload files button, the user can choose the desired file(s) from the file explorer. For the files to be attached to the VAT settlement, which is being sent to Altinn/Tax authorities, the belonging checkbox must be checked before clicking the Submit schema button. Files that previously have been uploaded to the Accounting period (PAR), related to the VAT period, will also show as possible attachments. Attachments are validated during the submit step by clicking the Submit schema button.

The uploaded attachments can be found in the Filemanager in RamBase under My uploaded files and they are automatically attached to Accounting periods (PAR) related to a VAT period,
