Enhancements to VAT/GST transactions We’ve enhanced business-to-business and business-to-consumer transaction scenarios for accurate tax calculations in VAT/GST transactions in Taiwan and Indonesia. These transactions include:

  • Domestic sale or purchase of goods or services
  • Domestic supply or purchase of digital services
  • Export of goods or services
  • Import of goods or services
  • Marketplace-deemed supplier
  • VAT on low-value goods
  • Domestic sale or purchase of event admissions Low-Value Goods and marketplace rules update for Chile Chile has updated its VAT framework for low-value goods and digital marketplaces. Avalara has enhanced AvaTax to align with these rules, ensuring compliant VAT calculation for cross-border and platform-based sales to Chilean consumers.

Changes:

  • Marketplace VAT: Digital platforms processing payments for Chilean consumers are now VAT taxpayers; non-resident operators must register under a simplified VAT regime.
  • Low-value goods: The threshold was raised from USD 41 to USD 500, bringing more imports into VAT scope.
  • Exemptions: Customs duties waived if VAT is collected by the seller or marketplace.
  • Simplified regime: Non-resident sellers can register without local establishment.

Effective December 1, 2025, AvaTax will support the USD 500 threshold, marketplace VAT rules, and simplified VAT registration, ensuring accurate VAT calculation and reporting for Chilean remote and marketplace transactions.

Impact on AvaTax customers:

  • Marketplaces: Must collect and remit VAT on qualifying remote sales.
  • Sellers: VAT liability may shift to the marketplace.
  • Consumers: Benefit from higher import thresholds and simplified treatment. Updated invoice message for out-of-scope EU VAT transactions Effective December 1, 2025, Avalara updated AvaTax to display the following default message on invoices where the transaction is outside the EU VAT scope under Articles 2 and 44 of the EU VAT Directive (2006/112/EC):

Out of scope of EU VAT – EU Directive 2006/112/EC

This change clarifies that no VAT applies and aligns with Article 226(11) requirements for appropriate directive references. It ensures:

  • Improved compliance with the EU VAT Directive.

  • Clear, consistent messaging for customers and auditors.

  • This removes confusion between exempt and out of scope transactions. Applicability of Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) to Low-Value Goods (LVG) in B2B transactions We’ve enhanced AvaTax GST logic for offshore supplies of low-value goods (≤ AUD 1,000) under A New Tax System (GST) Act 1999, Subdivision 84-C, Section 84-5 (Item 4). The update ensures accurate application of the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) in B2B transactions.

  • Importer of Record Logic: RCM now applies only when the buyer isn’t the importer of record (IsImporterOfRecord = FALSE). If the buyer is the importer of record, GST is paid at customs and recoverable.

  • Simplified Recovery: AvaTax assumes 100% GST recovery for LVG RCM supplies, no mixed-use configuration required.

  • Section 84-5(1) Item 5: Logic based on supplier belief not implemented; use Buyer VAT ID for B2B validation.

This update,

  • Ensures compliant RCM determination under Australian GST law
  • Simplifies configuration with no manual parameters
  • Provides consistent GST recovery for eligible supplies
