Heeros Accounting has added a ready-made interface to the Tax Administration at the beginning of the year. The VAT declaration interface allows the TYVI data generated from VAT calculations to be sent directly from Heeros Accounting to the Tax Administration, eliminating the need to save the data in the accounting system and export it to the ilmoitin.fi service.
The transmission of VAT calculations utilizes the income register certificate. The sent data is automatically transferred to the Oma Vero service according to the Tax Administration's scheduled processing. In addition, a receipt of the transmission is conveniently received directly in Heeros Accounting.
The ready-made interface to the Tax Administration significantly reduces manual actions, making it easier to track declarations and notice any missing submissions.
Before sending the first declaration, make sure that the Tax Administration certificate is retrieved in the Menu. The same certificate is used for sending eSalary salary declarations and Purchase Invoice travel expense declarations (income register certificate). If one of these functions is already in use, a new certificate is not needed.
You can check the valid certificate in the Menu's Certificate Service (Menu Income register – Certificate service – Existing certificates). If there is no valid certificate in the service, you need to retrieve the Tax Administration certificate in the Menu before sending the declaration. To check and add the certificate, you need Office-level administrator rights. You can read more about retrieving the certificate here.
If there is no certificate and you don't have time to retrieve it before sending the declaration, you can still make the declaration in the old way by saving the generated file from the calculation to your computer and exporting the file to the ilmoitin.fi service for the Tax Administration.
After sending the declaration, the information is immediately visible in the ilmoitin.fi service. The data sent to the OmaVero service is transferred according to the Tax Administration's internal transfer schedules. Therefore, the transfer to the OmaVero service does not happen immediately after sending the declaration. Generally, the data is visible in the OmaVero service on the next business day, but depending on the time of submission, at the latest on the second business day. The longest delay in the visibility of data in the OmaVero service is for submissions sent on Friday evening, which will be visible in the OmaVero service on Tuesday.
