Germany VAT return:
The Prepayments sheet has been enabled in Group returns and consolidates the values from the child entities. To be able to see the value in December, the values from previous months (starting from January to December) must be added in all child and group returns.
Further automation was implemented of boxes in the VAT return using tax code mappings. To support this the following changes have been introduced:
Intra-community acquisition of goods: Exempt (AP_INTRAACQGDS_E) – A new tax code was created and is mapped to box 91,
VAT exempt Intra-community acquisitions
. Previously this box was linked to tax code AP_INTRAACQGDS_Z. If transactions are expected to populate box 91, the source tax code must be remapped to the exempt rate. As a result, manual adjustments may be required while preparing corrective returns. This change applies to datasets with a start date from January 2023.
Intra-community acquisition of goods: Zero rated (AP_INTRAACQGDS_Z) – The tax code is now linked to box 90 –
Intra-community acquisitions subject to 0% VAT
. Previously this box was subject to manual entry and tax code AP_INTRAACQGDS_Z was linked to box 91.
Added new tax code Domestic supply of goods/services: AR_DOMSPLYGDSSRV_Z:
The new tax code was created to allow reporting of taxable supplies subject to zero VAT in box 87 which previously was subject to manual entry
Adjusted the period length value, which was populating incorrectly in the quarterly German version of the return.

was revised and now combines purchases both from EU and non-EU suppliers. Tax code

(AP_NONEUSUPSRV) was remapped and transactions using this tax code are no longer included in box A2. They are reported in box A3 instead.

Corrected an issue were import with deferments were displaying the totals on hidden rows in the Return Summary Analysis sheet.
Romania ESPL and Intrastat:
The VAT Registration Numbers required for ESPL and Intrastat will be populated from separate sections on the Company Information sheet, since the formats of the registration number differ depending on the filing purposes. This will allow clients to use the same calculation both for submitting the Intrastat and ESPL and fill the VAT registration fields with the appropriate format.
Slovenia ESPL corrections:
The ESPL listing report was 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's
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 the application using the edit functionality. The corrective transactions require populating the
OriginalNetAmount
value manually in the corrective sheet and will be included in the current period submission.

SAF-T Updates

Report Status: This column allows the user to set the status of the SAF-T report to Draft, Review, Final and Submitted. If the status is set to final or submitted then the delete report option will be removed.
Comments: Users can add any additional free form comments to enable review, etc or append an internal version number.

Entity Permissions: We have included entity level permissions for SAF-T and SII reports. This means that any user that has access to the relevant entity will now be able to see the SAF-T and SII reports, rather than these being only viewable by the user that has run these reports. This has been added based on customer feedback that multiple users require access to the reports to review, etc.

When turned on users see the upgrade prompt when trying to open the return from view that uploads the Import Details screen.
Returns Navigation from Imports: The returns are now opened in new window when we try to open return from view uploads screen instead of opening in same window same as how it works in Returns screen. The returns will continue to open in same window from both the Returns screen and Import Details if it is a multi-client database.

Oman Taxpayers checklist report: A new standard report is added to support users to file additional details to the tax authorities of Oman. The report is similar to the existing box number report with a few additional columns. However, if the taxpayer wants to submit the checklist to the tax authority, they should manually fill in details that are not supported by the application.

Users can view adjustments made on multiple SAF-T transactions of different SAF-T types by executing a single report. We are supporting the output in the Excel format with multiple sheets where each sheet supports a different SAF-T type.
Transactions Deferred into Period: A new standard report is added that shows transactions that have been deferred into a period of the report, excluding transactions that have since been deferred out of period. Unlike the existing Deferred transactions report, this new report cut out middle stages and only shows the latest iteration of the transaction (referencing the original imported data).
Show/Hide filters: The fix is provided to display the show/hide filters button on the returns screen. With the fix provided the user can apply the filter and take back the filter when not required.
