Postponed VAT Accounting (PVA) From 1 January 2021, following the end of the Brexit Transition Period, and if you’re a UK VAT-registered business, you will need to account for import VAT on your VAT Return (also called postponed VAT accounting). When defining Reverse Charge VAT it is now possible to define whether VAT boxes 1, 4, 6, & 7 or just boxes 1, 4, & 7 are to be reported as is the case for PVA. Absolute Numbers Enquiries now support the operators EQUAL ABS and NOT EQUAL ABS for values fields that can be signed. For instance, Base Value EQUAL ABS 1000 will return any transaction that has a value of either 1000.00 C or 1000.00 D. Standard Texts by Company Standard Texts can be restricted to individual companies and a separate default set against each company, which is very handy when processing multiple company transactions in a consolidated Aqilla instance. More data in Top N Gadgets The maximum number of displayed rows in user-defined Top N gadgets on a user’s Home screen has been increased to 20 so, for example, you can now list Top 20 Debtors at a glance every time you log in. SELF and NOT SELF Expense and Timesheet Enquiry now supports filters for SELF and NOT SELF. This can be particularly useful when creating generic gadgets showing documents owned (or not owned) by the current user.
