Sales Tax or VAT Return Preparation Worksheet
Gather figures for a periodic return.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Prepare a worksheet for my sales tax or VAT return. Jurisdiction and scheme: [JURISDICTION_AND_SCHEME]. Sales for the period by tax rate: [SALES_BY_RATE]. Purchases and expenses with tax shown: [PURCHASES_WITH_TAX]. Special transactions (exports, refunds, bad debts, imports): [SPECIAL_TRANSACTIONS]. Build a worksheet: output tax on sales by rate; input tax on purchases; items where input tax may not be recoverable (a question list, not a conclusion); adjustments; net amount payable or refundable = output tax - recoverable input tax. Show arithmetic and a cross-check of totals to the ledger. Add a checklist for supporting documents (valid tax invoices, evidence for zero-rated sales), a procedure for reviewing the period for missing invoices, and a calendar of filing and payment dates as placeholders. Rates, thresholds, and rules depend entirely on [JURISDICTION]; mark all as [VERIFY with a tax professional]. Do not state rates or file on my behalf. Add a step that lists transactions with an unusual tax treatment (mixed supplies, refunds, bad debts, imports) separately for professional review, and show the final payable or refundable figure with a statement of its main uncertainty.
