Discovered a mistake in your VAT return after submitting it via Intervat? You’re certainly not the only one. The good news is that you can correct your error, as long as the statutory filing deadline has not passed. Previously, it was also possible to submit a correction to your VAT return after the statutory filing deadline, but as of 1 January 2025, this will no longer be allowed.
But how can you still rectify a mistake? Let's dive into it.
From this year, several changes to VAT regulations will come into effect. New deadlines for the submission and filing of periodic returns are being introduced, and the ability to correct errors in your VAT return after the statutory filing deadline has passed will be abolished.
But what should you do if you discover a material error in your VAT return after the statutory filing deadline? In that case, you can include a correction in your next return.
Before the statutory filing deadline passes, you can still correct your mistake. You do this by cancelling the previous return and replacing it with the correct one.
⚠️ Please note, this is only possible if the statutory filing deadline has not yet passed!
Go to Intervat (you can use this link) and log in.
If you want to adjust a return for your sole proprietorship, select "in own name." If you have a company, select "on behalf of a business."
Go to 'My declarations' and cancel the previous return.
Then upload the correct return. You can do this as you normally would, either by file or by screen.

This is an amazing application with great support on issues. In short as in day I am addicted to it (in a positive way). I myself is from IT project management and the way they have captured the user requirement, it’s phenomenal.

UI is great. Feature packed and very easy to use. The team at Accountable were VERY quick to respond and their team of technicians soon had a fix in place. Very happy with the level of service so far. Thumbs up from me!

This program is a lifesaver, and it is always improving. Plus, it has an AI chat feature that is actually useful.

The availability of your team to help and guide people to understand their finances better is what really makes Accountable valuable. While the AI is able to give answers to most basic questions, specific scenarios need counsel from a human which your team performs beautifully.

They always answer for questions wherever is via direct e-mail or through app. If they can’t answer fully they will forward you to the right place. Documents were always prepared well and ready to send further to government. Everything is intuitive in the app and easy to sort out even for someone completely green in this field.
