The short answer
A period VAT and IRPF settlement calculates what would be payable or carried forward from invoices and withholdings. It is there so you can review the figure before you build the form. It is not the filing with the tax agency.
Anyone searching for “VAT settlement” or “IRPF settlement” usually has bases in one spreadsheet, withholdings in another and a 303 or 130 that the advisory firm closes. The work is to calculate the period and look at it properly, not to discover the number on the 20th.
Vacly Fiscal is €12.90/month VAT incl. 15-day trial. The settlement has its own page. The [tax summary](/producto/fiscal/impuestos) shows the view; [AEAT forms](/producto/fiscal/modelos-aeat) track status. All of it sits in the [Fiscal module](/producto/fiscal).
What is a period VAT and IRPF settlement?
It is the quarter or month calculation: what VAT results and, if it applies, what IRPF comes from withholdings or the instalment. It is not the form that was sent.
- For the SME: you see the period figure before someone copies it into the 303 or the 130.
- For the advisory firm: the same calculation across clients. Not a different spreadsheet per company.
- It starts from invoices and withholdings already in Vacly. We do not invent a bank statement or an automatic journal entry.
- VAT and IRPF are calculated by period. Mixing two quarters throws both forms off.
- It does not file with the AEAT. Calculating and reviewing is not sending.
How is it calculated from invoices and withholdings?
The settlement does not guess. It adds what is already digitised and classified. If the document is wrong, the calculation inherits it.
- VAT comes from issued and received invoices: bases, rates and amounts. The inbox for those documents is [Invoicing](/producto/facturacion/facturas-unificado); the period calculation is this page.
- IRPF comes from withholdings made or suffered and, if you are self-employed under direct estimation, from the instalment that applies to you.
- [Register books](/producto/fiscal/libros-registro) order issued and received invoices for the period. The settlement turns that detail into a figure to review.
- We do not claim an automatic match with Banks or Accounting. If you reconcile, you do it in those modules.
- Company expenses are digitised in Invoicing. Employee tickets live in Time. Do not mix them in this settlement as if they were the same thing.
Why review before you file?
A number with no review is a 303 with a surprise. The page exists so you can look at the period, not so you sign blind.
- Prior review: bases that do not add up, a wrong rate, a received invoice that is not deductible.
- If the [tax](/producto/fiscal/impuestos) summary and the settlement disagree, stop. Something has slipped in.
- The advisory firm reviews the book with the same rule. The SME reviews its own. Both see the period, not a loose PDF.
- Exportable: you take the settlement out for the file or for whoever files. Exporting is not filing.
- The [tax calendar](/producto/fiscal/calendario-fiscal) tells you when it is due. Reviewing on the 19th is late if the error sits in March.
How is the VAT settlement different from the IRPF one?
They share a period. They do not share boxes. Treating them as one total is the most expensive mistake of the quarter.
- VAT: output tax minus deductible input tax. The usual form is the 303.
- IRPF: withholdings and payments on account, or the self-employed instalment (130, if it applies). It is not “payroll VAT”.
- A company can have VAT and withholding IRPF in the same quarter. A self-employed person can have a 303 and a 130. Two calculations.
- The 111 prepares employment and professional withholdings. It does not replace the VAT settlement.
- If you are not a VAT taxable person, do not turn this page into a ghost 303. If there are no withholdings, do not invent an 111.
What can you export, and what is not sent?
The settlement can leave the module. Filing with the Agency is a different act, with a certificate and with whoever is authorised.
- Exportable for the advisory firm, the internal file or whoever builds the form. The file comes out; it does not travel to the AEAT site.
- [AEAT forms](/producto/fiscal/modelos-aeat) take this figure for the draft and the status. They remain preparation and tracking.
- Vacly does not file the settlement with the AEAT. We do not claim a seal or an Agency certification.
- Accounting will post the entry when it is time, in its module. This screen does not assume that.
- Price of the [Fiscal module](/producto/fiscal): €12.90/month VAT incl. 15-day trial.
