HMRC VAT MOSS Return Generator
This library helps you generate a VAT MOSS Return from Ruby. In HMRC's infinate wisdom, they have decided that users must submit returns in a formatted ODS file. (unlike the EC Sales List, where they allow you submit CSV).
Usage
require 'hmrc_moss'
# Create a new return and provide the period which you are reporting for.
moss_return = HMRCMOSS::Return.new('Q1/2015')
# Add any sales which you made FROM the UK to other member states.
moss_return.supplies_from_uk do
line 'AT', :rate_type => 'standard', :rate => 20, :total_sales => 2000, :vat_due => 10
line 'DE', :rate_type => 'standard', :rate => 20, :total_sales => 2000, :vat_due => 10
line 'FR', :rate_type => 'standard', :rate => 20, :total_sales => 2000, :vat_due => 10
line 'NL', :rate_type => 'standard', :rate => 20, :total_sales => 2000, :vat_due => 10
end
# Add any sales made from fixed establishments in other member states.
moss_return.supplies_from_outside_uk do
line '123123123', 'AT', :rate_type => 'standard', :rate => 20, :total_sales => 2000, :vat_due => 10
line '123123123', 'DE', :rate_type => 'standard', :rate => 20, :total_sales => 2000, :vat_due => 10
line '123123123', 'FR', :rate_type => 'standard', :rate => 20, :total_sales => 2000, :vat_due => 10
line '123123123', 'NL', :rate_type => 'standard', :rate => 20, :total_sales => 2000, :vat_due => 10
end
# Save the restuling file
moss_return.ods_file.save('path/to/return.ods')Output
The resulting ODS file is based on the template provided by HMRC.
