Enhancement in reverse charge tax for transactions in India Before this release, AvaTax displayed only the input tax line detail for transactions in India where the reverse charge was applicable. However, for countries other than India, AvaTax displays both input and output tax line details.
With this release, AvaTax will display both input and output tax line details for India.
For more information, see Reverse charge. Enhancement of freight line transactions With this release, the following enhancements are made to freight line transactions:
- If you shipped products to a country outside the United States with goods and a freight line in a transaction and freight is zero, then instead of applying a zero rate to the freight line, freight will follow the goods line taxability.
- For transactions with a rate type Out of scope (O), the amount appears in a Non-taxable field instead of the Exempt field.
