Instructions for uploading files – VAT special scheme (One Stop Shop)

You can also use your own file to submit the requested data for the VAT period in the VAT special schemes (Union scheme, non-Union scheme and import scheme). You must specify the data in the order given in these instructions.

The file must be in CSV format (*.csv). For example, you can save your file as CSV in Excel. If the file you are going to upload is not an Excel file, please make sure to use semicolons (;) for separator characters between data elements.

After you have uploaded the file to MyTax, you will see the uploaded data in the next stages of the return. If there are errors, correct them before you submit the return.

You can correct erroneous rows in two ways:

  • Correct the rows in the CSV file and upload it again.
  • Correct the erroneous details directly in the return. You can edit the details in MyTax up until you submit the return.

If a service was sold from a permanent establishment or if goods were sold from a place of dispatch that is some other EU Member State than the Member State of identification, enter the VAT number of the EU Member State in question in the column. If there is no VAT number, enter the tax registration number.

If your CSV file contains a new permanent establishment or place of dispatch of goods, add the establishment’s details after you have uploaded the file but before you submit the return.

If the taxpayer is a marketplace that does not have a VAT number in the place of dispatch of goods, enter only the country code of the place of dispatch.

Leave the column empty if you have had no sales from permanent establishments or places of dispatch of goods.
