Thanks for the explanation! It's fine if you handle that account manually or with an extra module, as long as you're aware of the consequences.

I must say I could not understand the google-translated version of the italian wiki page referenced on the description of account_vat_period_end_statement ;-) So I don't know how Italian requirements differ from what can be accomplished with a standard Chart of Taxes and the standard Tax report.
Doing it with this extra module is perhaps a good first step, but perhaps at some point you might want to be able to adapt l10n_it itself to provide this features directly based on the standard chart of taxes.
If this requires modifying the core accounting system you might wish to discuss this in the future in the form of a merge proposal to make the core system flexible enough for your needs...

Interesting! It's great that you managed to reuse some of the Spanish localization's work. Seeing that you have common requirements, perhaps it would be worth it to consider introducing minimal merge proposals for the core addons in order to make them flexible enough to support Italian/Spanish requirements for the fiscal year closing.
As for the VAT statement above, this could be discussed based on an actual merge proposal, if you ever find some time to work on this in the future.

Thanks for your feedback and your excellent contributions, as usual!
