Added a new pricing strategy to the Custom duties estimation list
In this release, we have added Highest-confidence tariff code pricing strategy to AvaTax for Cross-Border Estimated subscribers. You can see this option in the Custom duties estimation list on the Countries where you report tax page. For information on Pricing strategy calculation, see Applying pricing strategy to a duty calculation.
Renamed the jurisdiction name and code for Newfoundland
In this release, we’ve renamed the jurisdiction name for Newfoundland to Newfoundland and Labrador in AvaTax to match the ISO naming standards for Canada province. Also, we’ve renamed the jurisdiction code for the province of Newfoundland and Labrador from NF to NL. For previous tax region addresses with the old NF jurisdiction code, AvaTax will map NF to NL before retrieving tax rule and rate content to ensure accurate tax calculation. With this update, for an address with country code CA (Canada), provincial code NF, and no postal code, AvaTax will calculate Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) tax for NL instead of General Sales Tax (GST).
Renamed the jurisdiction name for Yukon territory
In this release, we’ve renamed the jurisdiction name for Yukon territory to Yukon in AvaTax to match the ISO naming standards.
AvaTax API didn’t return the tax authority details for LocalJurisdictionFetch or ResolveAddress endpoints
In this release, we’ve updated the jurisdiction IDs and signature code in the AvaTax API to return the tax rates while using the LocalJurisdictionFetch or ResolveAddress endpoints.
Set a child company to a reporting or non-reporting entity
Before this release, while filing returns, the transactions of unregistered child companies appeared for the registered parent company. Hence, it was difficult to identify if a company within an organizational structure was a separate reporting entity. This happened because the API default value of the IsReporting field of the AvaTax company was False.
In this release, as a part of support for Separate Reporting Entities (SRE) in the Company Shared Service, we’ve changed the default value to True for new companies. This change doesn’t affect the existing companies.
Updated the information messages on the Select states where you’re registered to report tax The revised information messages are as follows:
- Page: Select states where you’re registered to report tax Revised information message: Be sure to select only the states where you’re already registered to report tax, which means states where you file tax returns and have a separate registration number. If you aren’t sure if you’re registered to report taxes in a state, skip it for now. You can always add more states later.
- Page: Are you registered to report tax in these states? Revised information message: You’ve indicated that you’re already registered and intend to file tax returns with 5 states. If you aren’t sure if you’re registered to report taxes in a state, consider removing it for now. You can always add more states later.
- Page: Select all states and territories? Revised information message: You should select only the places where you’re registered to report tax, which means that you file tax returns and have a separate registration number for each state. It’s uncommon for businesses to be registered in all states and territories, even if they ship to all states and territories. If you aren’t sure if you’re registered to report taxes in a state or territory, consult a tax adviser or Avalara Professional Services.
