# Tax report and tax summary

> Output tax on sales, input tax on purchases and the net amount payable or refundable for a period, in the layout of your country's return.

Two reports cover VAT, GST and sales tax. Both read the tax lines of your sent invoices, confirmed credit notes, finalized purchases and confirmed debit notes for the period.

## Tax report

**Reports → Tax Report** is laid out like a tax return: **output tax** collected on taxable sales, **input tax** paid on taxable purchases, and the **net payable** (due to the authority) or **net refundable** (credit due). Reverse-charge purchases appear as both output and input, as the rules require.

## Tax summary

**Reports → Tax Summary** gives the same figures as a compact statement with your registration number, suitable for your accountant or for filing manually.

## What is included

| Included | Not included |
|---|---|
| Sent invoices and confirmed credit notes (output) | Drafts and quotes |
| Finalized purchases and confirmed debit notes (input) | Expenses (they carry no tax line — see [Record an expense](https://docs.getonebooks.com/expenses/record/)) |
| Reverse-charge purchases (both sides) | Void documents (reversed) |

The totals reconcile to the balance-sheet accounts **2100 VAT Payable**, **1300 VAT Receivable** and **2110 RCM VAT Payable**.
