VAT reporting for Norway 2022

Updated merknad.xml and merknadTilsvarendeMvaKode.xml
The two XML files with standardised remarks for the SAF-T VAT report from the Norwegian tax authority (merknad.xml and merknadTilsvarendeMvaKode.xml) have been updated to the latest version from the tax authorities. The files are available in the \Plugins folder under the Visma Business program folder.
Use technical name when adding Selected remark
The technical name is now used when selecting remarks from the dialog in the Selected remark field in the VAT period table. The remarks technical name is also used in the XML and sent to Skatteetaten/Altinn.
Removed check and timeout for VAT control against validation
The check against Skatteetaten's validation of the VAT report and the timeout are now removed. Reverted to original functionality where VAT control dialog appears when sending report.
Handling of zero VAT in the VAT report
Zero VAT is not presented in the VAT report. In addition to SAF-T tax code = 0 with Turnover class = 7 - Non-taxable domestic purchases, now SAF-T tax code = 0 with Turnover class = 17 - Purchase outside tax area is neither reported to the tax authorities.
Report zero amount on the VAT report
It is now possible to report on 0 amount. The VAT report no. is now set on the VAT period row.
VAT payment
The receipt in the Payment message field in the AutoReport archive table is now connected to the Create VAT payment processing, and then batch and vouchers for VAT payment is created.
Export VAT report to XML
It is possible to export the VAT data to XML file from the Send Norwegian VAT report processing dialog in the VAT period table with right click.
Formatting of VAT report
Values in the dialog box that appears when processing the Send Norwegian VAT report in the VAT period table are now right aligned and have a space as thousand separator regardless of global regional settings, since space is the Norwegian standard, which the report follows.
Deletion in VAT code explanation
Rows in the VAT code explanation table are no longer automatically deleted after sending the Norwegian VAT report to Altinn, but they can still be deleted manually.
VAT codes without SAF-T tax code
Amounts from VAT codes without SAF-T tax code are no longer accumulated to the VAT total in the XML file.
VAT rate reported for 4 - Taxable purchases
VAT rate could in some cases appear for 4 - Taxable purchases in the XML file which made the validation at Altinn to fail. This has been solved.
