Set up declaration types in the Belgian version

Note

In the 2022 release wave 2, Business Central had a redesigned Intrastat experience with enhanced features. Learn more about new Intrastat experince at the Set Up Intrastat Reporting article. This article describes the previous functionality and it can only be used if you haven't upgraded your Business Central and are using some old versions.

The new Intrastat feature will be enabled automatically as of the 2024 wave 2 release while the old Intrastat feature will be deprecated.

In Business Central, there are two types of declaration:

  • Simplified declaration
  • Extended declaration

The type of declaration depends on the amount of shipped or received goods. To determine the type of declaration that you should use, visit the National Bank of Belgium website.

When using the extended declaration, also, you need to set up an Incoterm in Intrastat Declaration for each shipping method. If you don't see the Incoterm in Intrastat Decl. field on the Shipment Method page, you might need to customize the page and add the field.

To set up declaration types

  1. Choose the Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature. icon, enter General Ledger Setup, and then choose the related link.
  2. Select the Simplified Intrastat Decl. check box to set up a simplified declaration type. Clear this field to use extended declaration.
  3. Choose the OK button.
