VAT return: View, change and submit

All enterprises that are registered in the Value Added Tax Register must submit the VAT return. When the VAT return has been correctly completed, it will show how much value added tax the enterprise must pay to the state, or how much the state must pay to the enterprise.

You can fill in and submit a VAT return if you have one of these roles:

  • Limited signing rights
  • Contact person NUF
  • Accountant with signing rights

If you have one of these roles, you can fill in the VAT return, but not submit it:

  • Responsible auditor
  • Accounting employee
  • Accountant without signing rights
  • Assistant auditor
