The following updates in VAT Filing will be released in UAT on September 7, 2023, and in PRD on September 11, 2023.

New and improved

My Profile
We have updated the My Profile page with a more user-friendly and better-looking version. Here are the specific changes on this page:
User Information
Now this section shows your first and last name and, if you have the right permissions, your email address.
Password
You can change your password or enable logging in with SSO and, if you have the right permissions, you can set it to never expire.
Permission settings
You can view your role and your permissions by selecting View permission. Depending on the permissions for your role, you may also be able to change your settings.
Localization settings
Allows you to view and change your region format and time zone.
Security Settings
We have added the Hardblock for Invoices option to the Security Settings page, so:
  • Setting a date, after which reported invoices can't be edited or deleted. By doing that, you will no longer accidentally change the number of an invoice that has already been reported.
  • Creating invoices with a report date equal to or earlier than the hardblock date will be blocked for import.
  • Once you select the Enable Hardblock for Invoices check box, you need to select a Hardblock for Invoices Date from the drop-down menu.
  • The date field is required to enable the Hardblock feature. If you check the box but don't enter a date, you'll see an error.

Bug fixes

Administrations
You can now change the details of company administrations which have had certificates uploaded.
Invoices
  • When you export invoices, the file name and content of the downloaded file should be correct.
  • We rewrote the error message you'll get when trying to import invoices with incorrect company codes via transactions API.
Returns
We fixed an issue causing invoices that were manually edited on the analysis screen to be missing in reports.
Users
We fixed an issue causing a white screen error when viewing the profile details of users with custom roles.

Germany
Due to the change in Elster, German VAT reports have been updated to match Elster's manual import as well.
Italy
A checkbox for quarterly payments has been added as a feature in the Italian quarterly periodic return. The value is set to "yes" by default for quarterly payments in quarterly returns, which will add interest to box VP12. If the taxpayer performs monthly payments instead, checking "no" in the checkbox allows for zero interest in box VP12.
Romania
Return D300 has been updated to include new boxes 14.1 and 14.2. Consequently, VAT codes 170013RO and 170014RO have been created.
