01Before you start: what you need added up
Three figures for each IVA rate (4%, 10% and 21%): the base of your sales, the base of your deductible purchases and the matching quota. If you bought from suppliers in another EU country, the base of those purchases too. And if last quarter came out as a credit, that amount.
02Boxes 01 to 09: output IVA by rate
This is the block for your sales under the general regime. It runs in three rows, one per rate. In each row the first box is the taxable base, the second the rate and the third the quota. Boxes 01, 02 and 03 are the 4% row; 04, 05 and 06 the 10% row; 07, 08 and 09 the 21% row. A frequent mistake is putting a 21% sale in the 4% row because it is the first empty one.
03Boxes 10 and 11: intra-EU acquisitions
If you buy a service or a good from a company in another EU country using their intra-EU VAT number, the invoice arrives without IVA. You self-assess it: the base goes in box 10 and the quota at the Spanish rate in box 11. That same IVA is deducted further down, so the net effect is usually zero.
04Boxes 12 and 13: reverse charge
The same mechanism for reverse-charge operations that are not intra-EU, for instance certain purchases from suppliers outside the EU or in specific sectors. Base in 12, quota in 13.
05Boxes 28 and 29: deductible IVA on domestic operations
Here go your deductible expenses from Spanish suppliers. Box 28 is the sum of the bases, box 29 the sum of the quotas. If an expense is only 50% deductible, like a car, half its base and half its quota go in. Capital goods (an expensive computer, furniture) have their own boxes, 30 and 31.
06Boxes 36 and 37: deductible intra-EU IVA
The counterpart of boxes 10 and 11. Intra-EU acquisition bases go in 36 and the quotas in 37. If everything is deductible, box 37 equals box 11.
07Boxes 45 and 46: total to deduct and general regime result
Box 45 adds up every deductible quota (29, 31, 33, 35, 37 and the rest of the block). Box 46 is total output IVA minus box 45. Positive means you charged more IVA than you paid. Negative means the opposite.
08Boxes 64, 67, 69 and 71: closing
Box 64 sums the results of the regimes you use (for most people only the general one, so it equals 46). In box 67 you subtract credits from previous periods, that is what came out negative in past quarters and you have not recovered. Box 69 is the result after that offset. Box 71 is the result of the return: positive means you pay; negative means you carry it to the next quarter or request a refund in the fourth.
09What Fider does with this
Fider goes through the transactions in your freelance wallet, groups them by IVA rate and deductible percentage, and fills a draft with these boxes. It is a draft to review, not a filing. Fider is not connected to the AEAT and files nothing on your behalf.
