A taxable person who ceases to be in REDEME with effect from July 1, 2017, and, furthermore, as of this date, does not incur any other circumstances to be included in the obligation to keep the VAT Record Books through the electronic headquarters of The AEAT (not included in the SII), will have the following formal obligations regarding the 2017 financial year:
- Regarding the first half of 2017, you are required to submit Form 340.
- Regarding the second half of 2017, you may be required to submit Form 347, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 31 to 35 of Royal Decree 1065/2007, of July 27. The calculation of the amounts of this obligation, generally 3,005.06 euros, must be computed with respect to the entire fiscal year. Therefore, all operations that do not fully coincide with those already declared in Form 340 must be included in Form 347. (In the event that Form 340 has related transactions with a third party that have only taken place during the period in which said declarations were submitted, they will not have to be related in Form 347.)
In these cases the exemption from Form 390 does not apply.
The operations will be deemed to have occurred in the period in which the registration of the invoice serving as proof must be made.

The invoices issued must include notes at the time of liquidation and payment of the tax corresponding to said operations.

Yes. In the event that the invoice is received by the client and is registered in a quarterly period different from that in which it was issued by the supplier, differences will arise.
Example: Company X sold to Y for an amount of 10,000 euros on March 20, 2014. Company Y received the invoice on April 30 and recorded it in the book of invoices received on that date.
In 347 X the indicated operation must be included, with the key “B”, in the box corresponding to the 1st Quarter and in 347 Y it will be included, with the key “A” in the box corresponding to the 2nd Quarter.
These changing circumstances must be reflected in the calendar quarter in which they occurred, provided that the result of these changes, together with the rest of the operations carried out with the same person or entity in the calendar year, exceeds the figure of 3,005.06 euros.
Example 1: In January 2014, entity X (not a large company) sold to Y for an amount of 4,000 euros. After 6 months, X has not received this amount, so he/she takes the relevant steps to modify the tax base in the last quarter of 2014. How do you declare these operations in 347? You do not need to file Form 347 because the annual amount of the transactions, in absolute value, is less than 3,005.06 euros:
Annual amount of operations = 0 = Sale (4000) – Modif. BI (-4.000)
Example 2: In December 2013, entity X sold to Y for an amount of 20,000 euros. In the first quarter of 2014, entity X receives a return of goods from a previous sale worth €4,000. How do you declare these operations in 347? In this case, you must declare the operations in 347 since it is taken into account that the absolute value of the operations carried out in the same calendar year exceeds 3,005.06 euros.
