EU Sales List for Belgium

If you have a Belgium nexus, and you have the International Tax Reports SuiteApp installed in your NetSuite account, you can generate a localized EU Sales List (ESL) report for Belgium. To generate an ESL report, go to Reports > VAT/GST > EU Sales List Report. The form can be displayed in English or French.

The form displays the following information:

Customer - Click the customer name to view the customer record
Country Code - Country code prefix of the customer's VAT registration number
VAT Number - Customer's VAT number without the country prefix
Indicator - Editable field that specifies if the transaction is for goods, services, or triangulation
Total Value of Supplies - Displayed in the appropriate format for Belgium
Exclude - Check this box for lines that you want to exclude from your report

Verify and correct the data as necessary. Any inconsistencies that NetSuite finds in your data, based on your selected reporting criteria, are indicated by color codes on the ESL report. By default, the system checks the Exclude box for those transactions with data inconsistencies, except for VAT number errors.

You can save the file in PDF, Microsoft Excel (.xls), or XML format. Lines with the Exclude box checked are not included in the exported file. NetSuite saves a copy of the file in the File Cabinet, and sends you an email containing a URL of the file location.

To use the ESL reporting feature, read the following topics:
