Content Enhancements
Indonesia disregarded tax code:
Removed mapping to Return Summary of tax code Disregarded sales previously reported as Non-Vatable Delivery. It now follows standard OIC logic and is not reflected in the return.France group schedule:
In addition to the standard group return summary consolidating values from the child entities, the group template now includes a Statement of VAT Group under A3 sheet which corresponds to form 3310-CA3G (Summary declaration of VAT and similar taxes due by the head of the group). The sheet relies on the same tax codes as the standard Return Summary and there are no changes in the configuration required to populate the boxes.Belgium VAT return request for refund:
The Company Information sheet of the VAT return includes boxes related to VAT refunds Request for VAT reimbursement and Request for Payment forms used to populate the e-filing output. The boxes require manual entry. We have added a carry forward setting which ensures the selection remains when a return is rolled forward to the next period to avoid the need to populate it each time.Netherlands ESL country code validations:
During e-filing of ESL, the validations do not flag certain country codes invalid for this type of filing as they are included in the enumeration of business validations managed by the tax administration. We have introduced on screen error messages in the listings sheets that will alert the users to transactions recorded with an invalid country code for this type of filing.Spain ESPL corrections:
The ESPL listing report has been enhanced to split the reporting between original submission related to the current period and corrective submission referring to prior periods. The original submission will exclude any transactions that have OriginalInvoiceDate populated and will automatically include these transactions in a separate sheet – ESPL Corrective section.The prerequisite is to map in the import specification field Original Invoice Date and include the value in the source data, alternatively the field can be populated in OIC using Edit functionality. The corrective transactions require populating the OriginalNetAmount manually in the corrective sheet and will be included in the current period submission. Users can however opt out from including the corrections by unticking a checkbox in the corrective sheet and only file the current period transactions without the corrections.
Poland Intrastat:
Field REGON
has been added to the Company Information sheet and it will be extracted into the e-filing output as well. Although it’s an optional field, we have been notified of clients facing validation issues during submission on the tax authority portal related to it being left out.Czech Control Statement:
The statement logic has been amended to allow reporting of transactions recorded under a foreign VAT registration that have a Place of Supply in Czech Republic whilst previously such transactions were excluded from the statement. The Place of Supply
field must be populated with CZ country code to ensure these transactions are captured in the relevant sections of the statement. The field can be either provided in the import data (this requires an update to the configuration) or populated in OIC using the Edit functionality.Efiling Expansion
We are pleased to announce we have expanded our efiling coverage based on customer requests.
Luxembourg VAT return (periodic and annual), ESL and Table of Acquisitions:
- Users can export these in xml format that can be used to upload on the tax authority portal. The submission will require several fields to be updated in the Company Information sheet such as NationalID Number, RCS Number and eCDF prefix and Agent Information. Additionally, the E-filingsection in Company Information allows to select types of filing and generate a file with either full submission including VAT and ESL or split the submission and generate separate files.
- The Annual return can be supplemented with the Tables of Acquisitions if the relevant sheets are populated. These are covered under Listings and are subject to manual entry.
- A separate sheet is added to support the Appendix to the VAT return needed for e-filing of the annual return. While some boxes are automated and parts of the appendix are populated from a separate sheet for Operational expenditures, the sheet mostly requires manual entry.
- For first eCDF account creations, the forms are available on www.ecdf.lu in the menu “eCDF access / First Access”. Existing eCDF users who want to add XML transfer possibilities to their account should log into eCDF and use the already partially prefilled form in menu “eCDF access / Access modification”. These request forms are only available after logging in using an electronic certificate. There are no PDF versions available. Please make sure you set up your eCDF account with the identifier "CONU4" before the first XML submission on the portal.
note
This enhanced functionality requires a template upgrade.
Other Efiling Updates
UK MTD Tokens
Some users may have an issue where the expiry date for ‘Grant Authority’ tokens displayed incorrectly in ONESOURCE. This has been fixed for new tokens but for existing tokens users were seeing a "refresh token invalid" error message on e-filing. This error message has now been updated to "Grant Authority has expired". In this case, grant authority again.
