VAT returns/listings
Australia GAT
- A new correction has been implemented to the Box 9 field calculation in the AU GAT (B Sheet) template to ensure accurate GST refund reporting. Box 9 calculates the refund amount with a formula, ensuring that both positive and negative values are accurately considered, and the correct absolute value is displayed for refund purposes. The change aimed at reducing manual adjustments, ensuring accurate GST refund reporting in Box 9, as well as aligning with ATO requirements for net GST calculations.Czechia intrastat
– an enhanced logic has been introduced to ensure the Company Information VAT number used for the purpose of reporting intrastat contains the mandatory country code prefix CZ which is automatically added to the reporting company's VAT number in the Intrastat section.Estonia

- the XML schema for efiling Intrastat has been updated to align with European VAT numbering standards. Previously, the schema used a field for "Company VAT Registration Number" which expected an 11-digit format. This has now been replaced with a new field, "European VAT Number," designed to accommodate an 8-digit format.Italy Return Summary Analysis report
– the caption has been updated for duplicate box VP13 to ensure the box numbers are unique values. The box number has been changed to VP13_1 and VP13_2.Italy Manual adjustments

– the report Returns Data - Manual Upload Data has now been made available for New Zealand returns.Saudi Arabia VAT return
- revision to OIC logic for reporting VAT figures in Saudi Arabia, specifically for partially recoverable tax codes. The revised logic, will implement the following:- Full Amount in Net Amount Boxes: The full amount of the taxable base will now be reported in the "NET AMOUNT" boxes of the VAT Return (7a and 9a).
- Non-Recoverable VAT as an Adjustment: Only the non-recoverable VAT portion will be calculated and included as an adjustment in the relevant boxes (7b and 9b).
These changes will not affect the final VAT result. The overall VAT liability or reclaim amount will remain unchanged from the currently calculated amount. The impact of this revision is solely on how the figures are presented and allocated within the "NET AMOUNT" and "Adjustment" boxes of the VAT Return for partially recoverable tax codes.

The change has been applied to the following jurisdictions: Lithuania, Norway.
SII
New Optional Fields Added to SII Reports
To help users better understand their SII transaction submissions, three new fields Import Name, Import Date, and Import ID have been added to SII Invoices Issued, SII Invoices Received and SII Specific Intra Community.
Please Note: These fields are not visible by default, but users can easily enable them using the Show/Hide Columns option on the report screen.
SII Reports Enhanced with Submission Time
In the previous release, a new column "Submission Date" was added to SII reports. This column now includes both the date and time of each transaction submission, providing users with precise visibility into when submissions occurred. This enhancement supports improved tracking and resolution of submission-related issues.
Returns
Configurable Column Order for 'File Name' in OIC Application:
Introduced the ability to configure the column order for the 'File Name' field within the OIC application interface. This enhancement improves user flexibility and allows for tailored data presentation based on operational needs. The update enables users to rearrange columns dynamically, streamlining workflows and enhancing visibility of critical file attributes during data review and processing.Enforcement of Unique 'Order By' Values in 'Return Status Maintenance:
Implemented a feature that enforces the uniqueness of 'Order By' values for each Return Status on the 'Return Status Maintenance' screen. This change ensures that each return status is associated with a distinct 'Order By' value, preventing duplications and promoting clearer organization. When the Return Status already exists, an error will say "The Return Status already exists. Enter a different Return Status."
When the Order By value already exists, the error will say "The Order By value already exists. Enter a different Order By value."
Introduction of 'Export Transactions' Option:
The OIC application now includes a new 'Export Transactions'
option designed to streamline the consolidation and export of imported transaction data including Transactions, Intrastat, and Extrastat) —from all sheets. (based on the import type
category). This feature is accessible via the Save
menu in the return and, when selected, opens a new tab from which users can download the export file. The return name
will serve as the file name
for the exported data. This functionality facilitates the aggregation of data across various sheets imports into a single, organized export file. The implementation of this feature enhances data management efficiency by simplifying the process of exporting comprehensive transaction datasets, thereby supporting better data analysis and reporting capabilities.Improved Transaction Mapping from S Sheet to Annual Templates
: Manually uploaded transactions in the S Sheet now correctly flow into the designated boxes of the Annual Template Sheets. This update resolves a previous issue where flagged transactions were not appearing in the correct sections, leading to data inconsistencies. With this fix, data mapping is now accurate and consistent across all templates, improving reliability for downstream reporting and analysis. Germany Annual Template – Seamless Upgrade for Manually Edited Cells
: Upgrading the Germany template to the latest version previously resulted in exceptions when manually edited cells had been renamed in the new template. This issue has been resolved through improvements to the template upgrade process, ensuring that data changes between versions are handled efficiently. User-entered information is now preserved and accurately mapped to its respective cell during upgrades, eliminating the need for manual intervention and supporting a smooth transition while upholding data accuracy and integrity. Hungary DSPL Reporting – Invoice Aggregation and Allocation Logic Improvements:
Two key improvements have been made to the Hungary DSPL reporting logic to improve data accuracy and reduce reporting errors:- Invoice Line Aggregation Fixed: Invoice lines with the same Invoice ID are now correctly grouped into a single record in the DSPL output. Previously, multiple lines with the same ID were treated as separate entries, causing fragmented invoice data. This fix ensures proper consolidation and cleaner reporting.
- Refined Invoice Type Allocation Logic:The logic for the Invoice Type Allocation field has been updated for better precision. Now, when DOCUMENTTYPE is "E", allocation is only performed if the transaction matches both the month/year and supplier name of a KT transaction. This prevents incorrect allocations and ensures that the field is set only when the conditions are met, resulting in more accurate and reliable reporting.
API UPDATES:
To improve agility and reliability, we are making enhancements to API processing in future releases of the ONESOURCE Indirect Compliance platform.
API Changes in Upcoming Releases:
Prevention of Import Deletion During Processing
: An upcoming update will introduce a safeguard to prevent deletion of imports that are actively undergoing processing. This enhancement is designed to maintain system stability and avoid conflicts caused by parallel operations.- Planned Behaviour:Deletion attempts via API will be blocked for imports in any of the following statuses: Importing, File Processed, Validating, Promoting, Promote Successful, Uploading, Deleting.
- Expected API Response:
- When deletion is attempted during these statuses, the API will return:
- HTTP Status Code:409 Conflict
- Error Code:OIC-API-1014
- Error Message:Import cannot be deleted at the moment as it is still in progress.
- Action Required:If your current API automation or processes include deleting imports, you will need to update them to account for this new behaviour. Please ensure that your workflows check the import status and only attempt a deletion when the import is in a completed or final state (e.g., successful or failed).
If you have any questions or need further clarification, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team.
Imports
Advanced Import API Fix for Other Adjustment Sheet
: The issue with the Advanced Import Metadata API not uploading data to the Other Adjustment sheet has been resolved. Previously, imported values for adjustment blocks such as Other Adjustments and PAYG boxes were not populating correctly. With this fix, all relevant data now flows into the correct sections, ensuring smooth imports and accurate reporting. Advanced Import Enhancement – Date Format Selection Added:
A new option has been introduced in the Advanced Import process that allows users to select the date format used in their import files. This enhancement ensures that dates are interpreted correctly, regardless of system or regional settings. It significantly reduces errors related to date parsing, especially for users working with international formats or collaborating across different locales. note
Advanced Import may fail to parse dates in XLSX files when the chosen format differs from the system default, CSV imports remain unaffected. This will be resolved in a future release.
Other updates
Transition to 'Copy Permissions' Functionality:
We have transitioned from the "Apply Same Permissions to all Clients" feature to the new "Copy Permissions" functionality. This change is designed to provide more granular control over permission settings across different clients. The 'Copy Permissions' feature allows administrators to selectively replicate permissions from one client to another, thereby enhancing customizability and improving security management. Removal of Empty Folder in NO SAFT Segmentation Output:
An intermittent issue that occasionally resulted in an empty folder in the ZIP file generated during the generation of Norway SAFT report has been resolved.Resolved Form View Display Issue in AU BAS Submissions:
An issue in the EFM application where the Form View was displaying only header information instead of the expected table format for successfully e-filed returns has been resolved.Resolved Inconsistency in Entity Access Permissions in the Application:
An issue was identified where entities configured with write permissions in Administrator were appearing with read-only access within the ONESOURCE Indirect Tax application. This discrepancy was caused by misalignment in the synchronization logic between Administrator and the application’s access control framework. The implementation has been corrected to ensure that permission mappings from Administrator are accurately reflected in the application interface.Enhanced Error Handling of ATO Connection Failures:
With this release, error handling during AU BAS E-filing process has been enhanced to detect when the ATO connection is interrupted during data transmission and receives a blank response, marking the e-filing status as a failed connection for clearer reporting.Known Issues
