Tools to assist you with data submissions to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.

Currently this module contains the ESL declaration and a sample module for deciding the Indicator Code to use on those declarations.

ESL export for HMRC

A tool to export a CSV file in the correct format for electronically submitting your ESL declaration (VAT101) to HMRC online.

Current status is that the CSV headers can be got OK but there are no detail lines.

Also you need to provide your own logic to decide on whether a transaction is Triangular, B2B Goods or B2B Services, or install account_hmrc_constant_indicator.

To provide your own logic, you must add account_hmrc_esl_declaration to the dependencies of an Odoo addon of your own, do an _inherit = 'account.move.line' and implement the method _transaction_indicator_type_compute.

In the future, we may develop a default implementation that will calculate the correct transaction type from other aspects of the move line. However our current contract's requirement is to provide a constant one, which is implemented in the account_hmrc_constant_indicator module detailed below.

You will find it under Accounting -> Reporting -> Generic Reporting -> Taxes -> ESL Declaration CSV

• Currently this only outputs the two header lines. The algorithm for calculating the detail lines remains to be written.
• Currently, there is only one implementation of the logic to choose the Indicator Code, and that is in account_hmrc_constant_indicator. The default implementation is abstract, so you need to install the aforementioned constant indicator module or write your own. If another implementation is found that reliably makes the right choice for any installation, we may make that implementation the default.

This provides an implementation of _transaction_indicator_type_compute which gets the transaction indicator type from the account's company's 'Constant transaction indicator type' field.

As a result of installing this, each company can have either 'B2B Goods', 'B2B Services' or 'Triangular' selected, and this will be the only type of line that is output.

You can find this setting in Settings -> Companies -> Your Company -> Configuration

You could also use this as an example of how to get started writing your own version of _transaction_indicator_type_compute.

Apart from limitations given under individual addons' sections above:

• The API and addon structure is in flux. We may refactor these in such a way that, for example, if you implement your own _transaction_indicator_type_compute, and import the INDICATOR_SELECTION list, you may have to change the import in the future.
