Generate your Return of Trading Details - RTD (ROI only)

In the Republic of Ireland, all VAT registered traders must submit an annual return of trading details on form RTD EUR. This form was introduced by the Revenue Commissioners as part of an administration simplification process.

The RTD provides a breakdown of the supply of goods and services, imports and deductible inputs at the various tax rates that apply during the financial year. This includes all ROI, Intra-EU and overseas trade transactions.

At this time, the form is issued by the Collector General, and is pre-printed with the trader’s VAT number, the taxable period and the VAT rate in force during the year.

In Sage Accounts you can generate the values for your RTD then copy the information to the official RTD EUR form and generate the RTD calculations for a period. You can do this more than once.

You can access the RTD option from Company > Manage VAT > RTD.
