Instructions for file upload – the EU VAT scheme for small businesses (SME)
You can also use your own file to submit the requested data for the period in the EU VAT scheme for small businesses. You need to sort the data in the order given in these instructions.
The file that you upload into MyTax must be in the CSV format (*.csv), which you can select in Excel under “Save As...” and in many other software programs besides Excel. If the file you are going to upload is not an Excel file, please make sure to use semicolons (;) for delimiters between data elements.
The CSV file’s first row is the header. MyTax will exclude the header from the upload.
After successful upload you will see the uploaded data records at the next stage. If you notice any errors, make the necessary corrections before submitting the report.
There are two ways to do this:
- You can make corrections to the rows of the CSV file, and then upload the corrected file.
- You can make corrections in MyTax directly to the report. Data in MyTax can be edited up to the time when you submit the report.
Columns of the SME quarterly report
| A | Country code of an EU member state. See list of VAT numbers for EU countries to check the country code. |
|---|---|
| B | Business sector. If any EU country where you conduct business has different turnover thresholds for different sectors of business, you need to enter the sales within every business sector and turnover threshold one at a time. Leave this column blank if the EU country has just one national threshold. Visit the Commission’s website to check the different business sectors and their thresholds in euros. |
| C | Turnover in euros, without value-added tax. Do not use more than two decimals. Separate the decimals with a comma, not a dot. If you had no sales to a certain EU country during the quarter, either fill in a zero or remove the entire row from the example file. |
