3.5.7May 7, 2026

Union OSS Accountant Format

4 changes
Feature2 items
  • Added a dedicated Accountant Format dashboard page for Union OSS quarter review, combining manifest assumptions, filing context, summary lines, and country regrouping in one accountant-readable layout
  • Added an authenticated accountant-format API for Union OSS that reuses the existing filing-prep preview logic while emitting export-safe major-unit amounts and percentage VAT rates
Improvement2 items
  • The new filing context now shows the statutory due date and only treats a quarter as a nil-return candidate when zero source events were recorded, avoiding silent nil-return assumptions for excluded or review-needed rows
  • The accountant-format view keeps the existing CSV and JSON export package separate while giving accountants a faster on-screen review surface before download or later filing workflows
3.5.6May 6, 2026

Union OSS Reporting Previews

5 changes
Feature2 items
  • Added dedicated OSS Quarterly Summary and Country VAT Breakdown dashboard pages for reviewing a Union OSS quarter by return section, Member State of consumption, and return-currency totals
  • Added authenticated preview APIs for the Union OSS quarterly summary and country VAT breakdown, backed by the same filing-grade classification and warning rules
Improvement3 items
  • The existing Country Exposure page remains available as analytics, while the new period-driven OSS previews now cover filing-oriented quarter review
  • Expected preview blockers, such as missing Union OSS registration coverage or quarter-end exchange rates, now stay inside the dashboard UI instead of surfacing noisy browser errors
  • Blocked previews no longer keep retrying in the background and now explain the specific prerequisite that must be fixed before the quarter can be reviewed
3.5.5May 4, 2026

Managed Source Catalog Foundation

4 changes
Feature2 items
  • Added a dedicated Sources dashboard page for registering stores and channels, reviewing unregistered source tags, and editing source profile metadata without changing historical transaction rows
  • Added authenticated source management APIs so integrations can list, register, update, and review source profiles directly
Improvement2 items
  • Transaction Ledger and Exports now use searchable source selectors backed by managed profiles plus unresolved raw tags, and Ledger rows show mapped labels alongside raw source keys
  • Developer docs and OpenAPI now document the Sources API alongside the existing X-Source-ID capture flow on VAT calculations
3.5.4May 4, 2026

Multi-Store Reporting Plan

2 changes
Improvement1 item
  • Documented the next multi-store and multi-channel reporting phase: current Source ID tagging stays supported, while managed source profiles, channel labels, marketplace metadata, and searchable source filters are planned next
Security1 item
  • Source-profile planning now includes account-level authorization, resource caps, audit logging, and guidance to keep personal data and secrets out of source tags
3.5.3April 30, 2026

Reporting Filter Refinements

4 changes
Improvement4 items
  • Transaction Ledger and Exports now use searchable dropdown filters for country, currency, tax class, and API key instead of requiring users to type identifiers manually
  • Ledger filters are preserved when moving to CSV export, keeping export scope aligned with the rows users were reviewing
  • Monthly Trend now uses active-month comparisons and totals so inactive months no longer read like real revenue drops
  • Source ID remains a bounded text field for integration-defined store or channel tags that do not have a shared catalog yet
3.5.2April 29, 2026

Account & Security Dashboard Refresh

7 changes
Security3 items
  • Security Settings now provides clearer protection status, password controls, authenticator setup, and backup-code regeneration from one focused page
  • Backup-code regeneration now has stronger confirmation requirements and is included in the account activity trail
  • Dashboard billing and account forms received additional request validation before sensitive redirects or profile changes
Improvement4 items
  • Account Settings now presents profile details, email verification state, account identifier, security status, and subscription status in a cleaner layout
  • API key details now highlight recent error rate and use clearer wording for the latest request IP security signal
  • Activity Log labels are clearer for profile updates, email changes, and two-factor authentication events
  • Dashboard form validation and loading states were refined to reduce stale data flicker after account updates
3.5.0April 2026

Multi-Currency Compliance Tracking

4 changes
Feature2 items
  • Compliance threshold tracking now supports foreign-currency transactions using European Central Bank reference rates for EUR comparison
  • Compliance responses now show which currencies were converted successfully and which still need exchange-rate data before they can be included
Fix1 item
  • Threshold status and threshold checks now handle empty transaction periods cleanly instead of failing for new or inactive accounts
Improvement1 item
  • Background exchange-rate syncing is now part of the API startup flow so compliance calculations can stay current without manual imports
3.2.0April 2026

SME Eligibility & Public Threshold Lookup

4 changes
Feature3 items
  • New public API endpoint checks domestic SME VAT exemption eligibility — submit a country and annual turnover to find out if you fall within the national exemption threshold. Includes policy details and sector-specific sub-thresholds where applicable
  • New public threshold lookup endpoint returns OSS and IOSS thresholds with optional type and date filters — designed for integration into registration workflows
  • Negative consignment amounts are now rejected with a clear validation error on the IOSS threshold check endpoint
Improvement1 item
  • OpenAPI specification updated with complete request and response schemas for all new endpoints
3.1.0April 2026

Compliance Logic Review Fixes

7 changes
Fix5 items
  • IOSS removed from annual threshold status — IOSS is a per-consignment check, not an annual cumulative threshold. Ad-hoc IOSS validation remains available via the threshold check endpoint
  • Threshold reporting now highlights when some foreign-currency transactions could not yet be included in the totals
  • Date range queries fixed to include all transactions on the end date (previously could miss the final day)
  • Request ID in VAT calculation responses now matches the ID used in logs and tracing headers
  • Export date range validation adjusted to correctly handle leap years
Security1 item
  • Account-scoped endpoints (transactions, compliance, threshold status) now require V2 authenticated API keys — legacy keys are restricted to VAT calculation and rate lookup only
Improvement1 item
  • Prepared the compliance reporting surface for later multi-currency threshold conversion support
3.0.0April 14, 2026

Compliance Logic Foundation

2 changes
Feature2 items
  • Account ID: every user account now has a stable, unique public identifier shown in the dashboard under Profile Information — useful for support, integrations, and future multi-key compliance reporting
  • Account ID can be copied to clipboard directly from the dashboard with one click
2.9.0April 10, 2026

SME VAT Thresholds — TEDB Integration

6 changes
Feature4 items
  • New public API endpoint returns EU SME VAT exemption and scheme thresholds for all 27 member states — no API key required
  • Thresholds include EUR amounts and, for non-eurozone countries, national-currency equivalents (e.g. PLN, HUF, CZK, DKK, SEK, RON, BGN)
  • Sectoral thresholds available where TEDB provides them (e.g. specific industry exemption levels)
  • Data sourced directly from the official EU TEDB SMERetrievalService and kept in sync via the admin panel
Improvement2 items
  • Admin TEDB panel extended with an SME Thresholds tab: preview incoming changes, review field-level diffs, and apply with a single click
  • Diff preview highlights every changed threshold field individually — operators see exactly what changed before confirming
2.8.0April 3, 2026

TEDB Scheduled Sync & Change Alerts

2 changes
Feature2 items
  • VAT rate sync now runs automatically on a monthly schedule — no external cron or manual trigger required
  • When pending rate changes are detected, a Grafana alert is sent via email so operators can review the diff before applying
