How to declare Vat?

There are two ways to declare VAT formally:

1. Zero declaration: If the seller does not sell goods in a country that requires declaration during a declaration period, he or she can choose zero declaration.

2. Normal declaration: If the seller has sales business in a country that needs to declare during a declaration period, normal declaration should be selected.

Please note that you cannot directly choose zero declaration after withholding. You still need to upload your sales normally. The system will help you calculate your payable taxes. If you have paid all the taxes, the system will identify and display your payment amount as 0 yuan. Don't worry. However, it should be noted that zero declaration is not the same as normal declaration and payment of 0 tax.
