Belgian Intrastat Reporting

  • Article

Note

In the 2022 release wave 2, Business Central includes a redesigned Intrastat experience with extended features. If you are a new customer using version 21 or newer, you are using the new experience. For customers who upgraded from previous releases, using the new experience depends on whether your administrator has enabled the Feature Update: Replace the existing Intrastat functionality with the new Intrastat extension option on the Feature Management page. Learn more at the Set Up Intrastat Reporting article. This article describes the previous functionality.

Important

It is not possible to use the old and new experiences in parallel. Before activating the extension in a production environment, it is recommended that you first enable and test this feature in a sandbox environment with a copy of production data. Once you activate the new Intrastat experience in your production environment, you cannot revert back to the old Intrastat functionality.

Companies in the European Union (EU) are required to report trade with other countries/regions in the EU. This reporting process is through Intrastat reporting or VIES (VAT Information Exchange System). There are two types of Intrastat declarations:

  • Simplified declaration
  • Extended declaration

To determine the type of declaration that you should use, visit the National Bank of Belgium website.

Submitting the Intrastat report

In Business Central, you can export the Intrastat declarations to a file that you can then submit to the OneGate portal. For more information, see Export Intrastat Third-Party Declarations.
