How to Create a Child Claim
Table of Contents
The Create Child Claim feature in VAT4U allows you to create a claim from some selected invoices that have already been claimed. This is particularly useful in situations where you need to resubmit certain invoices to the tax administration or if you need to create a claim for your vendor (because invoices where rejected by Tax Authorities due to incorrectly charged VAT reasons). A child claim is essentially a claim within a claim, referencing the parent claim.
Steps to Create a Child Claim
-
Open the Parent Claim:
- Navigate to the claim you want to reference as the parent claim in the system.
-
View Invoices:
- Scroll down to see a list of invoices associated with the parent claim.
-
Initiate Child Claim Creation:
- Click on the Create Child Claim button:
-
Choose a Reason:
- A pop-up will appear prompting you to select the reason for creating the child
claim. You can choose from the following options:- Reimbursement of VAT due to incorrectly charged VAT
- New submission to tax authorities
- A pop-up will appear prompting you to select the reason for creating the child
- After selecting a reason, the child claim will be created, and only the invoices
you’ve selected will be added to it.
Invoices do not appear in Parent Claim anymore
When invoices are added to a child claim, they are removed from the original parent claim to prevent data duplication. The audit trail retains all information, and the parent claim amounts are adjusted accordingly.
