EU Intrastat Report Overview

Intrastat is the system for collecting information and producing statistics on the trade in goods between the Member States of the European Union (EU). The requirements of Intrastat are similar in all Member States.

Larger VAT-registered businesses may be required to supply additional information for dispatches and arrivals on Intrastat Supplementary Declaration forms. The EU Intrastat Report in NetSuite provides the ability to generate the dispatches and arrivals information required to complete and submit the Intrastat Supplementary Declaration form.

NetSuite can also generate an EU Intrastat report for any of your EU subsidiaries, provided that you have installed the International Tax Reports SuiteApp in your NetSuite account.

You can export the report in electronic format and upload the file to the tax agency website. The following are the formats used for EU Intrastat Filing:

CSV

XML

XLS

Belgium

Finland

Germany

U.K.

Belgium

Denmark

France

Netherlands
Note:

Take note of the following:

  • Each EU Member State has its own threshold beyond which Intrastat Supplementary Declaration reporting becomes compulsory. Review the requirements of your country to determine whether this report is mandatory for your tax agency.

  • Starting January 1, 2022, Germany and the Netherlands will no longer accept submission of file reports in ASCII format beyond 2021. Reports in ASCII format are replaced by CSV and XLS to standardize file formats across EU member states.
