5 minUpdated 8 June 2026

Open the VAT overview

  1. Go to VAT in the menu.
  2. Select the period (month or quarter, depending on your filing frequency).
  3. Declair shows the sections you need for the Tax Authority.

What does Declair calculate?

Based on your invoices and expenses:

  • Output VAT (VAT on your sales)
  • Input VAT (VAT on your purchases and expenses)
  • VAT payable or refundable

Pre-filing checklist

Run through this checklist:

  • All invoices for the period are created
  • All expenses with receipts are entered
  • Credit notes are processed
  • Private payments are excluded

Submit the return

Declair prepares the overview; you file the return yourself via the Tax Authority portal (or through your accountant). Export the overview as PDF or Excel as an attachment for your records.

KOR (small business scheme)

Under the KOR? Set this under Settings → Tax. Declair adjusts VAT calculation and won't show VAT on your invoices.

Accounting integration

Connected to your accountant (e.g. Moneybird, Exact)? Sync your invoices and expenses so your accountant can review the return. See Settings → Accounting integration.
