Set Up Reports for VAT and Intrastat

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.

In Business Central, you can specify which reports to use to create the documents that you must submit to the authorities, such as the VAT statement and the Intrastat form.
