January 8, 2026
The following updates in VAT Filing will be released in UAT on January 8, 2026, and in PRD on January 12, 2026.
New and improved
- Ask Sovi
- The Ask Sovi chatbot is now available in all environments, giving you instant help and answers to your questions whenever you need them. For more information on how to use this feature, see our quick guide.
- Dashboard pages
- We added a new account filter that lets you view data from child accounts directly in the parent account dashboard, making it easier to monitor all your accounts in one place.
Bug fixes
- SFTP import
- We added more detailed logging for SFTP import. You can now better diagnose issues when the Failed to import error occurs during SFTP import.
We fixed a problem that was causing some imports to be missed despite successful SFTP connections. You can now rely on consistent import processing for all files.
Regulatory updates
- Bulgaria
- We fixed an issue where the Bulgaria VAT Return form could not process Cyrillic characters in the Description of the goods/service field. You can now submit declarations with Bulgarian language descriptions to the tax authority portal.
- Germany
- We updated the Germany VAT Return (DE100) and Dauerfrist reports to reflect 2026 layout requirements. The updates include minor changes to box descriptions and the replacement of box 23 with box 500.
- Poland JPK_V7M(3) Schema Update (Effective February 2026)
- Effective February 2026, Poland mandates the new JPK_V7M(3) schema version (v1-0E) for monthly and quarterly VAT reporting. The updated schema introduces mandatory KSeF-related documentation requirements for all invoice transactions.
Key changes:
The JPK_V7M(3) schema requires one of the following identifiers for each invoice line in both sales (SprzedazWiersz) and purchase (ZakupWiersz) records:
NrKSeF - KSeF identification number for invoices issued through the National e-Invoice System
OFF - For invoices under Art. 106nf that do not have a KSeF identification number as of the JPK submission date
BFK - For electronic or paper invoices in any format
DI - For documents other than invoices issued via KSeF
Implementation Requirements:
For compliance, map your source invoice data as follows:
KSeF numbers → AdditionalDocumentReference field
KSeF indicators (OFF/BFK/DI) → AdditionalDocumentReference field
- Switzerland
- We updated the Switzerland VAT Return (CH100) schema to eCH-0217 V2.0.0. The update includes modifications to the UID (VAT number) element structure.
