You can submit your client's VAT return to Intervat directly from Accountable, in one click. Before that, your client must give you permission once. Only your client can do this.
💡 Tip: send this article to your client. Part 1 is written for them.
Your client must:
be based in Belgium and subject to VAT;
have a Taxes or Max plan, or a seat you assigned to them;
have already given you access to their Accountable account.
Only one accountant office can hold this permission at a time.
Your accountant must already appear under Accountants in Settings > Data access. If not, invite them first via Give someone access.
Go to Taxes.
In the banner "Your VAT deadline is approaching", click Give your accountant access.

Go to Settings > Data access.
Under Accountants, click ⋮ next to your accountant.
Click Give access to FPS Finance.

Select your accountant (if you have several).
Not logged in to FPS Finance yet? You are sent to the FPS Finance login page (for example with itsme). Tick the Intervat box. Already logged in? You see a green label "Already logged in to FPS Finance".
Click Give permission.

✅ Done. Your accountant can now submit your VAT return in one click. The permission is valid for one year. You can revoke it at any time in Settings > Data access.
In your client list, use the Intervat filter to see which clients have given you access.
Open the client and go to the Taxes tab. A banner confirms that the client has logged in to Intervat for you.
Click the VAT quarter (or Start tax review in the banner). Review the detected issues and the VAT boxes.
Click Submit to Intervat.
After submission:
Your client receives an email that takes them straight to the payment screen.
You do not receive a confirmation email. The receipt is in Intervat, under My dashboard.
Step-by-step screenshots of the submission: Exporting filings and submitting VAT returns via Intervat.
No permission? You can still send the XML file to yourself via the ⋮ menu of the VAT return and upload it to Intervat manually.
Sent to the FPS Finance login page when you click submit? Your client's permission is missing or has expired. Ask your client to give permission again (Part 1).
The permission stops when your client revokes it, removes your access, or no longer has a Taxes or Max plan or a seat.

UI is great. Feature packed and very easy to use. The team at Accountable were VERY quick to respond and their team of technicians soon had a fix in place. Very happy with the level of service so far. Thumbs up from me!

This program is a lifesaver, and it is always improving. Plus, it has an AI chat feature that is actually useful.

The coaching session on tax management was excellent, good material, excellent explanations and very insightful. Combined with the AI I never feel alone with Accountable.

The availability of your team to help and guide people to understand their finances better is what really makes Accountable valuable. While the AI is able to give answers to most basic questions, specific scenarios need counsel from a human which your team performs beautifully.

In the world where everyone seems to be out to get small entrepreneurs and overwhelm them with new rules, more taxes and reporting obligations, Accountable often feels like the one steady partner that actually wants you to succeed, providing quick, clear and personalised support. Thank you!

They always answer for questions wherever is via direct e-mail or through app. If they can’t answer fully they will forward you to the right place. Documents were always prepared well and ready to send further to government. Everything is intuitive in the app and easy to sort out even for someone completely green in this field.
