Incorrect pre-registration
April 9, 2017 | 30,00 EUR | answered by StB Steffen Becker
I created my VAT return using Collmex software. When sending it via ELSTER, I made a mistake; I accidentally sent the data for the second quarter instead of the first quarter. After realizing the error, I immediately sent the correct data for the first quarter. What should I do with the data for the second quarter? Do I have to make the corresponding advance payment already? Do I need to correct the mistake somewhere or can I assume that the tax office will notice that this is an incomplete submission?
Dear inquirer, thank you for your inquiry. I will answer it as part of an initial consultation based on the information provided. Missing or inaccurate information can affect the legal outcome.
The VAT payment for the 2nd quarter is due on July 10th, not now. However, since a VAT return for the 2nd quarter has now been filed with the tax office, you should submit a corrected VAT return with the correct amounts for the 2nd quarter - preferably at the beginning of July - to ensure everything is in order.
