Filing your VAT return? With PIA Go!, it’s that simple!

31/07/2025

The deadline for your VAT return is approaching and you have never filed a return yourself? Don’t worry. With PIA Go!, the process is much simpler than it seems. In this article, you will discover how to quickly and correctly submit your VAT return.

From PIA Go! to the tax authorities: only one step left

When you work with PIA Go!, a large part of the work is already done.

All sales and purchases you record in the application are automatically allocated to the correct boxes of the VAT return. You therefore do not need to calculate the amounts yourself.

However, one final step remains: submitting this data to the tax authorities. This is done via Intervat, the online application of the FPS Finance.

Where can you find your return in PIA Go!?
Log in to PIA Go! and open the menu “VAT > Quarterly return”. You will find a clear overview of all VAT codes with the corresponding amounts. In practice, your return is already prepared. You only need to submit it.

Two methods to submit your return

Once connected to Intervat, you can choose between two methods.

1. The quick method: importing the XML file

This method is the fastest and safest.

Here is how to proceed:

• click on “XML” in PIA Go! to download the file
• log in to Intervat
• choose “Submit a VAT return”
• upload the XML file
• electronically sign your return

The amounts are then automatically transferred into Intervat. This helps you avoid input errors and saves time.

This method can be compared to a pre-filled form: you only need to sign it.

2. The manual method

You can also submit your return manually.

In that case:

• open the PIA Go! screen with the VAT codes and amounts
• log in to Intervat
• choose “Submit a VAT return”
• manually enter the amounts in the corresponding boxes
• electronically sign the return

This method takes a bit more time, but allows you to verify each amount before submission.

Why not wait until the last day?

The VAT return must be submitted no later than the 20th of the month following each quarter:

• 20 April
• 20 July
• 20 October
• 20 January

A simple tip: avoid waiting until the last day.

Intervat servers can be heavily used as the deadline approaches. A late submission may result in a fine. Submitting your return a few days in advance gives you time to resolve any potential issue.
