Colorado Retail Delivery Fee (RDF) not applied to $0 orders
Effective August 1, 2025, AvaTax sets the Colorado Retail Delivery Fees (RDF) to $0.00 for orders where all items are free or discounted to $0 using header level discounts.
This change aligns with Colorado state guidelines, which exempts RDF on tangible personal property that is provided free or discounted to $0.
Canada geolocation enabled in sandbox environment
We’ve enabled Geolocation for Canada in the Sandbox (SBX) environment. This is the default settings for all accounts.
The Canada geolocation feature uses GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) to pinpoint the exact tax jurisdiction improving accuracy over traditional methods such as postal codes or city names. It ensures more precise tax calculations based on actual location data.
Improved performance during transaction import with column limit
We’ve introduced a column limit for uploaded files to optimize performance during transaction imports.
You can now upload files with up to 1,200 columns. If your file exceeds this limit, an error message appears on the Import transactions page.
Also, when you download error or result files, AvaTax includes only the columns defined in the selected template. The result file contains a maximum of 88 columns, improving performance through faster download times.
For more information on the 88 columns that appear in the result file, see the Mandatory | Optional | Deprecated | Result file output column in Transaction fields.
