Loctax uses the filing date, together with the uploaded return, to set the period's compliance status, such as Filed on time. Without them, the period shows Missed filing due date once the due date has passed, even if the return was actually filed.
With a workflow: use the filing task
After the return is filed, open the filing task, such as Submit final VAT return. It's linked to its workflow and to the obligation.
Make sure the filed return, or the proof of submission from the tax portal, is uploaded.
Enter the filing date.
Check the remaining fields and submit the task.
On the obligation, check the period: it now shows the filing date, the return and its compliance status.
Without a workflow: use the obligation page
Open the entity's obligation and find the period.
Select Edit period.
Check that the filed return is uploaded, enter the filing date and select Save. The compliance status is set in the same way.
