How do I submit a nihil return on Intervat?

If you had no turnover or VAT-liable expenses during a given period, you still need to submit a VAT return: this is called a nihil (zero) return, since there's nothing to declare.

Written by Isabel Senden

This is done directly on Intervat, the SPF Finances portal, not from within the Accountable app.

👉 The accelerated method, screen by screen

  1. Log in to Intervat

    → Go to Intervat and log in (itsme or electronic ID card).

  2. VAT number

    → In the "Dashboard" tab, enter the company's VAT number, select "Periodic return", check the box "I want to submit a nihil return", indicate the period (month or quarter depending on your regime), then click "Continue".

  3. Data validation

    → If no error message appears, a new line shows up in "My submissions" with status "Validated". In the "Validation of entered data" section, you shouldn't see any errors detected. Click "Next step".

  4. Signature

    → In the "Summary of entered data & agreement" section, click "Sign and submit".

  5. Acknowledgment of receipt

    → Back on the "Dashboard", a new line appears with status "Success". You can download your acknowledgment of receipt directly from that line.
