Previously Submitted Declarations

You can view previously submitted declarations and navigate through the list using the ‘Next’ and ‘Previous’ buttons.

Submission no - You can view the details of previously submitted declarations by following the relevant submission no. link in the table.

Period - Period references incorporate both the month and year using the format mm/yy, for example for year 2013:

  • Quarter 1 = 03/13
  • Quarter 2 = 06/13
  • Quarter 3 = 09/13
  • Quarter 4 = 12/13

Lines - this is the total number of lines submitted on the original declaration including valid lines accepted, invalid lines rejected and lines that have been deleted from the original declaration.

Accepted - this is the number of valid lines that have been accepted as part of the original ESL declaration.

Rejected - this is the number of lines that contain invalid data and weren't accepted as part of the original declaration.

Deleted - this is the number of lines you've deleted from the original declaration.

Available for correction - if ‘Yes’ appears in this column the declaration contains invalid lines, was submitted less than 22 days ago and is currently available to correct online. If you select the ‘Available for correction’ link it will take you to the ‘Correct declaration errors’ page for that particular declaration.

Or, if more than one declaration is shown as being available for correction, you can click on the ‘View/amend all errors’ button at the bottom of the page. This will take you to the 'Correct declaration errors' page, which will display errors for all declarations that are still available for correction online.

If ‘No’ appears in this column the declaration can no longer be amended online. You can download a form VAT 101B -Value Added Tax - EC Sales list (Correction sheet) or you can call the VAT Helpline on 0300 200 3700 and ask them to send you one.
