Content Legislative Updates

  • Alava VAT return (ACC):
    The VAT return summary and .pdf form included under the Main Return schedule have been updated with the latest version of the form published by the tax administration. The revised return includes new boxes to support additional rates as well as reporting of transactions under reverse charge and OSS.
  • Belgium VAT return:
    Changed caption for box 91, which is no longer required to be completed. It is subject to manual entry on the Return Summary Analysis.

Content Enhancements

  • Poland JPK_V7M:
    The import wizard has been updated with fields MPP, SW, EE discontinued in the schema applicable from 1st of January 2022. These fields remain available in ONESOURCE Indirect Tax Compliance and are generated for reporting periods and corrective returns using previous version of the schema applicable before 1 January 2022.
  • Spain VAT return:
    The
    IBAN
    field is required when a return is in a repayment position was not included in the e-filing output, even if the field was populated on the A1 Return Summary Analysis sheet. The e-filing schema was updated to ensure this value is picked up in the filing output.
  • Spain SII:
    Amended the rules for aggregating invoices with Supply Types N1 and N2 (place of supply outside of Spain, free samples, TOGCs). The same logic has been applied to these transactions as to transactions under remaining supply types and in case of invoices split into multiple line items ONESOURCE Indirect Tax Compliance now aggregates the amounts and reports a total from all lines under the same InvoiceID.
  • Indonesia VAT return:
    • Updated formula in Box III.C
      Total Creditable VAT
      to ensure it includes values in Box III.A and Box III.B, previously it was only coming from Box III. A.
    • Updated formula in Box III.B.1
      Overpayment VAT carried over from the previous tax period
      . The box will be populated from II.D of the previous period, if VAT was overpaid.
    • Updated formula in Box II.F to populate it only if box II.E has values.
  • Portugal Annex 41:
    Fixed formulae in Annex 41 sheet that were causing discrepancies between the Annex and box 41 of the VAT return. The logic has now been amended to use correct net and tax amounts from the support sheet. Additionally, the condition using
    InvoiceDate
    for aggregation has been removed since it is not required for Annex 41.
  • Slovakia Control Statement:
    Revised the logic that incorrectly includes credit notes with document type "Other documents" in sections
    C.1
    and
    D.2
    . Now these are only reported in section
    D.2
    .
  • Manual adjustments in a Listings return:
    A warning will be displayed on the Company Information sheet if the return purpose is Listings alerting the users that that there are manual adjustments present in the dataset. Manual adjustments should not be made in Listings returns and it has been observed that they can lead to discrepancies in the annual VAT returns that they consolidate to. The warning can be cleared. This is being release in for Germany and Ireland and will be rolled out to remaining jurisdictions where ONESOURCE Indirect Tax Compliance supports annual returns.

E-Filing Updates

  • Belgium:
    Updates made to
    Company Address
    and
    Vat registration
    fields populated on Company Information sheet to comply with data types required in the schema. This applies to ESL, ASL and VAT return.
  • User Permissions:
    Resolved error where users without efiling permission were seeing the "All selected calculations must be successfully validated before e-filing” error on selecting to e-file, instead of the appropriate error on their level of permissions for e-filing.

General Updates

Datasets
Delete Datasets:
When a user tries to delete a dataset that includes entities the user does not have access to, the following new warning message has been added:
You do not have write access to one or more entities in the dataset and cannot be deleted. No access entities will not be visible in the Returns grid.
Dataset Edit:
Resolved an issue with incorrect period date getting appended in return name after we edit dataset start or end dates, and changing the return name while editing a dataset.
Reports
  • Decimal places customization in the GL Reconciliation report: Updates to allow customization of the GL reconciliation report to adjust the number of decimal places they wish to see in the reconciliation output, to make mismatches in amounts more clear when reviewing the report. The change is supported for both onscreen and Excel formats.
  • Native language – Report Parameters issue: Resolves issue meaning users can now select the date parameters on the reports screen when running the reports with the UI set to native languages.
  • Issue with missing data and incorrect user names on the Audit Reports: Resoled issue with Audit map and audit entity manager reports display accurate user names and the corresponding operation(s) performed by the users.
  • Audit report for DTR adjustments: DTR Adjustments report was created to provide visibility over edits performed on DTR transactions. The report is an excel report and will provide information for each import type separately in individual tabs. The tabs are inserted only if there are edited records under an import type.
Returns
  • Norway Digital: Resolved an issue on scheduled roll forward of returns.
  • Export to Excel: Resolved an issue where the export to Excel was not considering European localization of amount separators.
Imports
An issue parsing files with certain special characters in the metadata using the import wizard tool has been resolved by upgrading to the latest libraries.
Exchange Rates
For imports which utilize manual exchange rate sources, there are occasionally scenarios where an the rate to be applied to an exchange rate pairing for a given date is undefined. In these scenarios, OIC automatically applies one of the below transformations, to facilitate a successful import:
Reverse rates
Example:
EUR to USD is mapped with rate 1.10, but USD to EUR is not mapped. The import file contains a transaction needing conversion from USD to EUR.
In this case, a rate of 0.91 (in other words, the inverse of the mapped rate) will be applied, and the following warning will be displayed:
Exchange rates are not mapped in exchange rate source for the date. A reverse rate has been applied.
Intermediary rates
Example:
USD to GBP mapped with rate 0.81, GBP to EUR mapped with rate 1.13, but USD to EUR is not mapped. The import file contains transaction needing conversion from USD to EUR.
In this case, a rate of 0.915 will be applied using GBP mappings as intermediary rates, and the following warning will be displayed:
Exchange rates are not mapped in the exchange rate source for the date. An intermediary rate has been applied.
These warnings will highlight transactions where unmapped exchange rates have been applied. The objective of this functionality is to allow imports to proceed, but flag transactions which may need further review and correction.
Exchange rates & Invoice values can be corrected by filtering to applicable transactions, editing the
TransactionExRate
field and selecting
Recalculate Amount
fields during the edit process.
Other
Filter performance: Filter performance on returns drill down has been significantly improved, and test data patterns updated to reflect scenarios with high volumes of imports.
