AvaTax 26.5.1.0 — Enhancements

Enhanced scheduling for reports We’ve improved the scheduling experience for reports to make recurring reporting easier and more flexible.

  • You can now schedule all eligible reports without enabling download or marking reports as favorites.
  • A new custom date range option lets you create recurring schedules using the same date range pattern each month.

For example, if you schedule a report for the 5th to the 25th of the month, future recurring schedules automatically use the same date range pattern.

These updates simplify report scheduling and provide more flexibility for recurring business and compliance reporting workflows. For more information, see Schedule a report. Use Category as a line-level condition in transaction rules We’ve enhanced transaction rules to give you more flexibility when you configure line-level conditions. You can now select the Category field when you create the Find and Replace Before Calculation rules.

This update lets you apply rules based on item categories at the line level. It makes it easier to tailor tax calculations and rule behavior to your specific business needs. AvaTax has updated the logic for generating AVTUserBin Previously, AvaTax generated AVTUserBin only when all 3 conditions were met:

  • The origin country was in the EU or an enhanced VAT/GST country.
  • The destination country was in the EU or an enhanced VAT/GST country.
  • The transaction was in an enhanced VAT/GST country.

Now, AvaTax generates AVTUserBin when both of these conditions are met:

  • The sourcing country, which is the country where AvaTax calculates the tax, is an enhanced VAT/GST country.
  • The transaction is in an enhanced VAT/GST country. Note This update doesn’t impact VAT calculation. EU VAT reverse charge support – Articles 199 and 199a AvaTax now supports country-specific VAT calculation and invoice messaging under EU VAT Directive Articles 199 and 199a for applicable EU Member States.

These provisions introduce domestic reverse charge mechanisms, where VAT liability shifts from the supplier to the customer for specific goods and services.

When country-specific conditions are met, based on:

  • Type of goods or services.
  • Customer VAT Registration.
  • Supplier establishment.

AvaTax will:

  • Apply reverse charge treatment.
  • Generate an invoice messaging that indicates the applicability of Article 199 or 199a.

The following scenarios are supported:

  • Construction and immovable property (Article 199(a)): Transaction type: R. Example codes: SC165100, SC165200, SC165300, SC165400, SC165500, SC165600.
  • Supply of staff for construction (Article 199(b)): Transaction type: B. Example codes: SC165700, SC165701.
  • Scrap and waste materials (Article 199(d)): Transaction type: D. Example codes: PS170000, PS170001, SG017301.
  • Domestic reverse charge, additional scenarios: Transaction type: DTC, which includes: Real property transactions. Energy supplies, such as electricity and gas. Emission allowances. Metals and agricultural products. Note
  • Transactions where Article 199/199a applicability depends on cumulative single economic transaction thresholds of EUR 5,000 or EUR 10,000 are currently not supported and will be considered in a future release.
  • Czechia, Denmark, France, Germany, and the Netherlands apply Article 199a(g) only to resellers of telecommunications services. For telecommunications transactions in these countries, Entity Use Code “G” (Reseller) must be passed.

New VAT codes:

  • Construction and immovable property services.
  • Staffing and subcontracting.
  • Real property transactions.
  • Scrap and industrial waste.
  • Energy and emission-related supplies.
  • Agricultural and metal products. Note The new VAT codes aren’t applicable to North America.

This enhancement strengthens AvaTax support for EU domestic reverse charge scenarios and enables accurate VAT determination under Articles 199 and 199a.
