Documentation
Definition
Term for foreign trade reporting (see following explanation).
Use
Overview
Companies are required by law to report their foreign trade as foreign trade declarations to the local tax authorities. The type of return required for each business transaction is defined by law.
Example
In Germany, the legal requirements are set in the German foreign trade regulations. These regulations stipulate which forms a company must use for its returns.
The following is a more detailed explanation of terms of foreign trade reporting.
Return Type
The return type is a return that complies with the relevant national legal requirements.
Example
In Germany, payments from/to non-residents must be reported using form Z4. The return type is therefore Z4.
Report Key, Report Text, Document Group
The law states that the business transactions are to be listed under a report key with an appropriate report text, and, where necessary, with the document group.
Example
In Germany, the foreign trade regulations require that the following is reported:
Report key 540
Report text Advertising and trade fair costs
Document group 1 for incoming payments
2 for outgoing payments
Report key 900
Report text Other payment; the
purpose of the payment should
always be fully explained to
avoid queries.
Document group 1 for incoming payments
2 for outgoing payments
The legal reporting key is described as the external reporting key below:
Internal Reporting Key
The internal reporting key is made up of the external reporting key, the report text, and the document group.
If there are various different report texts or document groups for an external reporting key, you have to create a separate internal reporting key for each possible combination.
Example
Internal reporting key 540b1
External reporting key 540
Report text Advertising and trade fair costs
Document group 1
Internal reporting key 540B2
External reporting key 540
Report text Advertising and trade fair costs
Document group 2
Internal reporting key 900a
External reporting key 900
Report text Other payments
(damage replacement payment)
Document group 2
Internal reporting key 900b
External reporting key 900
Report text Other payments
(Payment of penalty)
Document group 1
If there is only one possible report text for an external reporting key, and there is no split into document groups, the internal and external reporting keys can be identical.
