Correct a submitted UStVA
How to correct a VAT return already submitted through Norman and when not to resubmit a report.
Updated
Correct the bookkeeping first
If a submitted UStVA is wrong, first correct the underlying bookkeeping for the affected period. For example: wrong VAT rate, wrong category, missing receipt, or missing transaction.
Submit the UStVA again
Follow these steps:
- Open Taxes -> Report history.
- Find the UStVA you want to correct.
- Mark the report as In progress.
- Go back to the Taxes page.
- Create and submit the report again.
Norman marks the second submission as a correction so the Finanzamt can see that it replaces the original filing.
If you filed outside Norman
If you already filed a UStVA through ELSTER or another channel and Norman shows it as submitted, leave the status unchanged.
Only set it back to In progress if you really want Norman to send a corrected UStVA to the Finanzamt.
Other tax reports
The clear corrected-filing flow applies to the UStVA. Other tax filings can have different correction paths. If unsure, contact the Finanzamt or a tax advisor.
