AvaTax 26.3.2.0 — Fixes
Improvement to VAT de minimis handling
We’ve resolved an issue impacting VAT calculation for shipments for cross-border transactions.
Previously, some cross-border transactions (for example, shipments from the United Kingdom to Israel) could produce inconsistent results:
- The VAT de minimis exemption was applied, but the place of supply was incorrectly identified.
- In certain scenarios involving an Importer of Record (IOR), de minimis wasn’t applied as expected. What’s improved
- Introduced a new optional API setting ApplyDeminimis that allows de minimis to be applied more consistently across eligible cross-border transactions, including those with an Importer of Record: Default (false): Maintains current behavior where de minimis isn’t applied for cross-border Sales Invoices with IOR = true (treated as domestic). Enabled (true): Allows de minimis evaluation for all eligible transactions, including cross-border scenarios with IOR = true, provided standard qualification criteria are met.
What this means for you:
- More accurate VAT calculation for shipments for cross-border transactions.
- You have more flexibility to control when you apply the de minimis rules.
- No changes to your current behavior unless you choose to enable the new API setting.
