VAT period pack from Stripe

Download output VAT from booked Stripe payouts per VAT period as CSV or PDF for your accountant.

Written by Laurits Højmark

The VAT period pack collects output VAT from booked Stripe payouts for the period you select. It is for your VAT return or for your accountant as a control, not a replacement for the official VAT basis in your accounting system.

Before you start

  • Stripe is connected and payouts in the period are booked.

  • Your VAT filing period is set under Settings → Company. Payfriend never guesses a period.

  • The company is not VAT-exempt.

Open the VAT period pack

  1. Go to Settlements (under Bank in the sidebar).

  2. Click the VAT tab (the VAT period pack).

  3. Choose a period in the dropdown at the top. The list follows your VAT period (month, quarter, and so on).

If the VAT period is missing, Payfriend asks you to set it under Settings → Company first.

Review the figures

Payfriend shows:

  • Output VAT split by VAT code from booked payouts

  • Stripe fees on the fee account. Stripe Payments Europe invoices from Ireland with no Danish VAT, so the fee is a cost. There is no input VAT to reclaim.

  • Reconciliation to the ledger when e-conomic is connected (comparison to the chart of accounts)

  • Exceptions for payouts in the period that are not in the totals (draft, failed, not booked)

Only booked payouts count. Payouts under Needs you are missing from the pack until they are booked.

OSS and IOSS are not split by country. Stripe Tax does not give a country breakdown in the pack.

Export

  1. Select the right period.

  2. Click Download CSV or Download PDF.

  3. Send the file to your accountant, or use it as a control against your VAT return.

Check that it worked

  • The period is the right one (your VAT period)

  • Payouts in the period are Booked

  • CSV or PDF has been downloaded

  • In e-conomic: reconciliation shows no unexplained difference
