Prepare your Modelo 303 IVA return

Every quarter, Deline works out your Modelo 303 from your books, box by box: the IVA you charged on your invoices, the IVA you can deduct from your bills, and the difference you pay or claim back. Deline prepares the figures; you or your gestor file them with the Agencia Tributaria. Deline files nothing.

If something goes wrong

  • A sale or bill is missing: it is not in your books yet. Check Daily work → Posting queue, or record the bill.
  • The quarter must not change after filing: lock its months (see Lock a month after you have checked it).
