Description

Cash VAT (TVA sur encaissements in France, Ist-Versteuerung in Germany) is a VAT scheme applied mainly to service providers.
When enabled, VAT is taken into account when payments are received rather than when the invoice is issued.

Configured at organization and third-party level, then reflected on sales and purchase documents and on accounting entries when invoices are posted.

Available for FR and DE legislation only.

Sage Active: the VAT declaration takes payment entries into account to generate the VAT amounts for organizations under FR and DE legislation with Cash VAT enabled.
