Most frequent questions and answers between the Tax Administration and taxpayers regarding the automatic transfer of sales and purchase ledgers.

QuestionI have manually closed (submitted) the sales and purchase books in Excel format from the E-filing system. Now that they must be submitted through the Self-Care portal, what should I do? Do I have to declare them again in Fiskalizim? 

AnswerIn the e-Filing electronic filing system, two versions of the book declaration will be displayed: one for manual submission in Excel format and one for automatic submission via the SelfCare portal. You need to verify that these versions contain no changes; if they do, you must make the necessary corrections and re-upload the books in Excel format to e-Filing. 

QuestionI have closed the books in SelfCare. When will they appear in e-Filing? 

AnswerBooks appear the day after their closing (delivery) date. 

QuestionWhat happens if I don't close (submit) the books in SelfCare? 

AnswerOn the 11th, the books will be automatically closed (submitted) by the Fiscalization system. You will then have the opportunity to verify and correct the books, if necessary, in e-Filing. 

QuestionIf I don't have sales or purchase invoices during the month, how should I handle declaring the books in SelfCare? 

AnswerBooks are automatically closed by SelfCare without activity and then transferred to e-Filing. 

QuestionI have closed the sales and purchase books in the central invoice portal, along with the corresponding adjustments, before the 10th of the following month. Meanwhile, I receive a purchase invoice from utility providers (FSHU, water supply, internet, etc.) after I've closed the books. What should I do in this case to report this unreported invoice? 

AnswerIn SelfCare, the invoice issued after the books have been closed will appear. You need to make the change to the purchase book in the e-Filing system by re-uploading the updated file in Excel format. 

QuestionDuring the month I had goods imports for which it was impossible to issue a fiscal document. The import declaration does not appear in the purchase book—how should I declare it now that the books are automatically reported through SelfCare? Not all imports can be fiscalized or fiscalized on time? 

AnswerYou need to complete the book-closing process in SelfCare, and then in your e-Filing account you can manually correct the purchase ledger, including the import declaration data that you were unable to fiscalize, and then re-upload it in Excel format. 

QuestionSome e-invoices appear in transactions but not in the monthly reports? 

AnswerThe issue arose because taxpayers were issuing invoices with errors. As of February 22, 2023, this issue has been resolved, as we have implemented system restrictions to prevent the issuance of invoices with this type of error. 

QuestionCan't all the books be finalized on the 10th, since only then will all the invoices (except those dated the 10th) appear, given the heavy workload for the accounting offices? 

AnswerThe deadline for submitting the books has not changed; it remains the 10th of the following month, as specified in Instruction No. 6 dated January 30, 2015 “On Value Added Tax,” as amended. Through this process, all VAT-registered taxpayers, including accounting offices, have had the manual book-filing process simplified. For the clarification and verification of any potential discrepancies, the period from the 11th to the 14th is valid, which coincides with the filing and payment of VAT. The completion of the VAT return will continue to be done manually through e-Filing. 

QuestionI am a taxpayer without VAT. What do I need to do to file the sales and purchase books? 

AnswerTaxpayers who are not subject to VAT, that is, who are not registered for VAT tax liability, are not required to declare their books or submit a VAT return. The books of these taxpayers are not transferred from the Selfcare portal to e-Filing.
