VAT reports¶
The VAT Filing Report assembles what you need to file a VAT return: what you charged, what you paid, and the difference.
Who. Admin and Accountant.
What you see¶
- Report period: the period the figures cover. Change period picks another.
- Output VAT (Sales): VAT you charged your customers.
- Input VAT (Purchases): VAT you were charged by suppliers.
- Net VAT: the difference — what you owe, or what you reclaim.
- Export: download the report.
The tables follow the return's own box numbering, with Box #, Description, Amount, Adjustment and VAT amount columns — so the lines sit in the same order as the form you are filling in.
Tasks¶
Produce the report for a period¶

Check a figure you do not recognise¶
Who. Admin, Accountant.
Work back to the documents:
- Output VAT comes from invoices you issued in the period — see Invoices.
- Input VAT comes from purchase invoices you recorded — see Purchases and vendors.
- A missing purchase is the usual reason input VAT looks low.
Clix prepares, you file
The report is a preparation aid built from what you recorded. It is not submitted to ZATCA for you, and it is only as complete as the purchases you entered. Check it against your own records before filing.
