Important VAT return – half-year closing

Complete records in October lay the foundation for an early start on your 2026 annual accounts. Therefore, we are combining the third-quarter VAT return with the completion of the half-year work: the substantive closing from January through June.

We need your help for this. Missing invoices, unclear payments, and unanswered questions can prevent us from finalizing parts of your administration. By resolving these points now, we gain a more complete picture of your figures and prevent old outstanding queries from delaying your annual accounts in 2027.

What do we need from you?

  • Ensure your records are complete at least up to and including September 30, 2026.
    Please provide missing invoices, receipts, bank and credit card statements, and other requested documents via your online administration by October 20, 2026 at the latest. Please also answer our outstanding questions and clarify any unclear transactions. If you are unable to provide a document, please inform your contact person so we can determine what is needed together.

  • Schedule an appointment with your dedicated contact person in October. At the bottom of this email, you will find our contact persons along with their personal calendar links. During the appointment, we will discuss the completeness of your records, the finalization of the half-year work, and the preparation of your 2026 annual accounts. We will make concrete agreements on which actions are still required and who will handle them.

Please note: Unfortunately, anything we receive after October 20 can no longer be processed in the October VAT return and will therefore be included in the January 2027 return. As a result, it will take longer before reclaimed VAT can be settled.

We schedule complete files first for the 2027 year-end work. In doing so, we look at both the documents provided and the answers to outstanding questions. By updating your records now, you help us to start and complete your annual accounts sooner.

From January 2027, we can start the year-end work for files that are ready. For this, the remaining months of 2026 and the necessary annual documents must also be available in time. Your contact person will coordinate the expected planning with you.

Thank you for your cooperation. In this way, we work together towards up-to-date figures and timely annual accounts.

How can I see if my records are complete?

Real-time administration starts with the daily submission of invoices, receipts, and other financial documents. This can be done via our portal or via our app, which you can download for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. In your online environment, you can immediately see what is missing and thus provide our team with information directly.

They then process all information within 24 hours and ensure that the VAT check is completed faster. You can easily view and handle the attention points for your administration in Yuki. In this 2-minute video, you can see how these are displayed and what actions you can take to have your VAT return ready sooner.
