Dear tax consultant,
I have a question regarding the submission of the advance sales tax return and the associated deadlines. I run a small business and am therefore required to submit regular advance sales tax returns. So far, I have always submitted these on time, but I now have concerns that I may potentially miss a deadline.
Currently, I am unsure about the specific deadlines for submitting the advance sales tax return. I want to ensure that I do not risk any fines or penalties and can fulfill my tax obligations properly.
Could you please explain to me exactly which deadlines I must adhere to in order to submit my advance sales tax return on time? Are there specific deadlines by which the return must be submitted, and how can I ensure that I do not miss these deadlines?
I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with specific information on the deadlines for the submission of the advance sales tax return and possibly also provide me with tips on how to meet these deadlines.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Jürgen Schulz
Dear Mr. Schulz,
Thank you for your question regarding the submission of the sales tax pre-registration and the associated deadlines. It is very important to meet these deadlines in order to avoid fines or penalties and fulfill your tax obligations properly. I will now explain to you exactly which deadlines you must meet in order to submit your sales tax pre-registration on time.
The sales tax pre-registration is typically done on a quarterly basis. This means that you must submit the sales tax pre-registration for the first quarter by April 10, for the second quarter by July 10, for the third quarter by October 10, and for the fourth quarter by January 10 of the following year. It is important to keep track of these dates and respond in a timely manner.
To ensure that you do not miss the deadlines for the submission of the sales tax pre-registration, I recommend setting a reminder to keep track of the dates. You can also work with your tax advisor to ensure that the pre-registration is submitted on time and correctly. Furthermore, you can inquire with your tax office if there is a way to set up an automatic reminder for the deadlines.
It is important to submit the sales tax pre-registration on time to avoid any consequences. If you happen to miss a deadline, it is advisable to immediately contact your tax advisor to discuss the next steps.
I hope this information helps you and that you can fulfill your tax obligations on time. If you have any further questions, I am at your disposal.
Best regards,
Friedhelm Sauer
