In short
Jointly registered companies submit one consolidated VAT return from the main company. For the reconciliation to match the basis in Accountflow, you must collect data from both the main company and the affiliated companies, and run auto-reconciliation at the end.
Step by step: Reconcile VAT for jointly registered companies
1. Fetch VAT returns from the main company
Make sure you are in the main company, i.e. the one submitting VAT returns.
Go to VAT under Reconciliation in the menu on the left and select the Year Overview tab.
Click Fetch VAT returns.
2. Accept sharing with Altinn
Log in to Altinn in the window that opens.
Accept the request to give Accountflow access, and VAT returns will automatically be fetched from Altinn into Accountflow.
3. Update the balance in all affiliated companies
Go back to Accountflow and switch to one of the affiliated companies.
Update the balance up to the period you want to reconcile for.
4. Run auto-reconciliation in all affiliated companies
Go to VAT under Reconciliation.
Go to the Report tab and click the Auto-reconcile button.
Repeat step 2 and 3 for all companies included in the joint registration.
5. Run auto-reconciliation in the main company
Switch back to the main company.
Click Auto-reconcile once more to update the data and complete the reconciliation.
