A declaration is sent with the Sign and send wizard, in five steps, from the list in the JPK_V7 tab.

Step 1 — preview

A review of the control sums and the draft declaration, before downloading the file for signing.

Step 2 — download the XML file

Download the unsigned XML file. The download link expires after 5 minutes — you can generate it again if needed.

Atestio doesn’t sign on the user’s behalf — the qualified electronic signature or ePUAP signature is applied by the taxpayer, outside the Atestio platform.

Step 3 — choosing a signing tool

The file is signed locally, with a tool of your choice. All of the following support qualified certificates accepted by the Ministry of Finance:

Tool	Recommended for
Szafir 2.0 (Krajowa Izba Rozliczeniowa)	Sigillum, CenCert, EuroCert, KIR certificates; the default tool for Windows.
PWPW Sign	Windows and macOS.
proCertum SmartSign	Certum certificates; recommended for Linux.

Step 4 — adding the signed file

The signed .xml or .xades file is added by dragging it in or choosing it from disk. Atestio automatically checks whether the signature belongs to this document, by comparing the signature’s SHA-256 checksum with the one saved on the server. A signature for a different draft, or a file with no signature, is rejected at this stage, before sending.

Step 5 — sending to the Ministry of Finance

The signed file is ready to send. Atestio verifies the signature server-side, then passes the data to the Ministry of Finance’s gateway.
