This is the report you open when you have to declare something. It shows tax collected by rate over a period, which is what a filing asks for — not what your margin was, not what you sold.
- 1
Open Reports → Finances → Taxes
Choose the period you are filing for. Match it to the filing period exactly; a report run over the wrong window is worse than no report, because it looks authoritative.
- 2
Read it by rate, not as a total
The breakdown is by rate. That matters because different rates are declared separately — a shop with a standard rate and an exempt category cannot file one number.

Reconcile it against your tax profiles
Every figure here comes from the tax profile that was applied at the time of sale. A product with the wrong profile collects the wrong tax and this report will faithfully repeat that mistake. If a rate looks light, check the products, not the report.

Account for returns
Tax on something you sold and then took back does not stay collected. Check the period's returns alongside this report — particularly credit notes, which exist precisely because the tax on the original sale has to be undone.
- 5
Print it with the period on it
Export or print the report for the filing period and keep it. When somebody asks in a year where a declared figure came from, this is the document that answers.
Pro tip
- Set your tax profiles up properly once rather than correcting this report every period. The report cannot fix a product that was sold at the wrong rate.
- For fiscal receipts in the Dominican Republic there is a further consideration: tax on a sale older than 30 days is no longer recoverable on a credit note, so a late return does not give you the tax back.
