2124853 - VAT Declaration for Business Residence, Germany and Austria

You want to maintain a VAT Declaration for each Business Residence in the company but once you want to schedule various VAT Return Runs, you get the error message: Tax return XXX already exists for period dd-mm-yyyy to dd-mm-yyyy.

1. Goto Work Center Tax Management
2. Select view Periodic Tasks
3. Choose VAT Return Runs
4. Press New - Tax Return Run
5. Enter the necessary variables and choose Set To Active
6. In previous screen select relevant run and press Schedule
7. Try to perform steps 1 to 6 again for the same period and you will get error message Tax return XXX already exists for period dd-mm-yy to dd-mm-yy

Every company receives only one VAT-ID, even if the company has various Business Residences (UStG Paragr. 1 Abs. 2 Satz 3). Subcompanies do not get any VAT-ID's (UStG § 3a Abs. 3 Satz 2, 3f, 3g und Abs. 25 Satz 4 - UStDV § 1 Satz 2).

The system works as designed. In Germany and Austria it is not possible to maintain VAT ID's for Business Residences.
