Getting Started with PIA Go! Everything you need to know about your digital accounting

Your VAT return prepared automatically

If your activity is subject to VAT, you must regularly submit a VAT return that includes all your sales and purchases.

With PIA Go!, this preparatory work is largely automated. The sales and purchases you record in the platform are automatically allocated to the correct boxes in the VAT return. This helps you avoid manual calculations and data entry errors.

Two methods to submit your VAT return

When your VAT return is ready, you can submit it via Intervat, the application of the Belgian Federal Public Service Finance. Two methods are possible.

The manual method

You consult the amounts in PIA Go! and enter them yourself on the Intervat website.

The quick method

You download the XML file generated by PIA Go! and import it directly into Intervat. The amounts are then automatically included in the declaration.

Both options are available in the menu 'VAT > Quarterly return'. You can therefore choose the method that best suits your way of working.

Comfort plan: nothing for you to do

If you opt for the Comfort plan, you no longer have to submit the VAT return yourself. Your PIA Go! accountant takes care of the entire procedure.

You still maintain a clear overview of your situation, but the administrative formalities are fully handled for you.

An immediate view of the VAT you need to pay

Entrepreneurs often do not know exactly how much VAT they need to pay at the end of a quarter. Amounts can quickly become confusing between sales, purchases and advance payments.

In PIA Go!, this information is immediately visible. The total VAT due clearly appears in your return in box 71.

The amount to pay calculated automatically

To make things even easier, the menu 'VAT > VAT payment' automatically calculates the exact amount you need to pay to the tax authorities. Any advance payments already made are taken into account in this calculation.

You can also record your VAT payments in this same menu, allowing you to keep a complete overview.

Tip for new users

If you start using PIA Go! while your company is already active, remember to complete the VAT balance carried forward during the first use.

If you are starting a new activity, this amount can simply remain at zero.

Other VAT obligations also simplified

The quarterly VAT return is not the only VAT obligation. PIA Go! also helps you prepare other mandatory documents.

The annual client listing

Each year, you must submit a list to the tax authorities of your professional clients who have a VAT number, including the total amount of sales made with each of them.

PIA Go! automatically generates this list in the menu 'VAT > Annual client listing'. This obligation still applies even if you benefit from the VAT exemption scheme for small businesses.

The intra-community statement

If you sell to customers in other countries of the European Union, you must submit an intra-community statement.

PIA Go! also prepares this statement based on the transactions you have recorded.

Before invoicing a European client, it is recommended to verify the validity of their VAT number via the VIES database of the European Commission.

Your profit and loss statement always up to date

The profit and loss statement provides a clear overview of the financial performance of your activity. It includes all your income, from which expenses and depreciation are deducted.

In PIA Go!, this document is generated automatically. All amounts are presented excluding deductible VAT in order to correctly reflect your result.

You can consult this overview at any time in the 'Profit and loss statement' menu.

Inventory management

If your activity involves a stock of goods or raw materials, its value must be taken into account when calculating your annual result.

In PIA Go!, you can enter the value of your inventory via 'Profit and loss statement > Inventory'.

If you run a service-based activity and do not have inventory, simply enter a value of zero.

A clear overview of your depreciation

The investments made for your activity also appear in the platform.

In the 'Profit and loss statement' menu, the 'Depreciation table' section lists all your fixed assets and their depreciation. This table is automatically generated from the investments you have recorded.

PIA Go! simplifies your tax obligations

With PIA Go!, your tax obligations become much easier to manage. The platform automatically prepares your declarations, updates your profit and loss statement and provides a clear overview of your financial situation.

At the same time, PIA Go! accountants ensure proper follow-up of your file and remain available to answer your questions.
