Tax report (liability)
The Tax Report aggregates the tax on your issued invoices by jurisdiction, authority, and category — the view you take to a filing. It's a read-only report over fiscal documents, not a separate ledger you maintain.
What the report is
The report's source of truth is your issued invoices. Commercial invoices (380) and self-billed invoices (389) contribute positive tax lines; credit notes (381) contribute negative reversals. Periods are measured by issue date (issued_at) — a booking that's been calculated but not yet issued does not appear. It's read-only: you don't post to it, you read off it.
/v1/liability-ledger/* aliases in the API. Treat this as an invoice tax report — it reports over issued fiscal documents, not a persisted ledger entity.Summary and lines
The screen has two stacked tables:
- Summary — net tax grouped by jurisdiction, authority, and category, with an invoice count and per-currency totals. This is the roll-up you reconcile against a return.
- Invoice lines — the individual frozen component lines behind the summary, each linking back to its invoice and booking. Reversal lines (credit notes) are flagged and shown in red so a refund nets out visibly rather than silently.
A banner at the top names the reporting organization, the issuer scope, the currency view, and whether you're looking at Live or Test invoices.
Filtering
Filters split into two groups. Invoice filters narrow which issued documents are in scope; tax breakdown filters narrow the component lines within them.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Issued from / to | date range | The reporting period, by issue date. Defaults to the last 12 months. |
| Legal issuer | issuer | Scope to one legal entity's invoices. |
| Currency | ISO 4217 | Show a single currency view. |
| Tax jurisdiction | code | Filter component lines to one jurisdiction. |
| Tax authority | string | Filter to one collecting authority. |
| Tax category | category | Filter to one tax category (VAT, occupancy, tourist, etc.). |
Exporting for filing

How credit notes net out
Because the report reads over fiscal documents, a credit note appears as a negative line in the same period it was issued — and the summary totals are net. If you issued an invoice in January and credited it in February, January's report shows the full positive amount and February's nets the reversal. That keeps each period faithful to the documents actually issued in it.
