Annual tax report

You can generate an XML file to electronically file your annual tax report with the tax office.

To do so, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Report --> Luxembourg --> Annual Tax Report`, click
on :guilabel:`Create`, then define the annual period in the :guilabel:`Year` field.

The **simplified annual declaration** is automatically generated. You can manually add values in all

FAIA (SAF-T)
============

**FAIA (Fichier d’Audit Informatisé AED)** is a standardized and structured file that facilitates
the exchange of information between the taxpayers' accounting system and the tax office. It is the
Luxembourgish version of the OECD-recommended SAF-T (Standard Audit File for Tax).

Odoo can generate an XML file that contains all the content of an accounting period according to the
rules imposed by the Luxembourg tax authorities on digital audit files.

.. note::
   This feature requires the module :guilabel:`Luxembourg - Accounting Reports` to be installed.

Export FAIA file
