1. Go to the Tax Management work center.
2. Go to the Tax Returns view of the respective tax return type, for example: VAT Returns.
3. Select your Tax Return and click Release.

When the Tax Return created is with the status In Preparation, and if some additional tax relevant documents are posted which are valid for your reporting period then you will get the above error as your Applicable Tax Amount and Total Tax Amount do not match.

Choose the Open VAT / Sales Tax Items report and fill the selection and execute the report, you will find that Applicable Tax Amount in this report and Total Tax Amount shown In Preparation VAT Returns does not match.

1. Go to the Tax Management work center.
2. Go to the Tax Returns view of the respective tax return type, for example, VAT Returns.
3. Select your Tax Return PQR and click Delete.

Now the total Total Tax Amount shown in VAT Return In Preparation status and in the Applicable Tax Amount in Open VAT / Sales Tax Items report match.

In case the error still shows and you do find tax-effective documents for the relevant time-frame in both reports Reported VAT / Sales Tax Items AND Open VAT / Sales Tax Items - Please Report a case to SAP Support.
