3.6.409August 30, 2026

Historical SME Checks Now Follow Currency Changes

2 changes
Fix2 items
  • Bulgarian SME checks now use lev for dates through 2025 and euro from 1 January 2026.
  • When a national threshold is unavailable, the result is now clearly marked as indeterminate instead of appearing to be a negative eligibility decision.
3.6.408August 30, 2026

Compliance Results and Navigation Are Clearer

3 changes
Fix3 items
  • Domestic SME exemption checks now recognize an official euro threshold when its optional duplicate national-currency value is unavailable.

  • Long compliance guidance headings now remain readable on narrow mobile screens.
3.6.407August 30, 2026

Roadmap Loading Is More Focused

1 change
Fix1 item

3.6.406August 30, 2026

Invoice-Ready VAT Treatment Added to the Roadmap

3 changes
Improvement3 items
  • The roadmap now includes planned VAT category, exemption reason, and legal-basis output for customers preparing EN 16931 and Peppol-ready invoices.
  • Future treatment decisions will distinguish legal categories that share a 0% rate instead of guessing the category from the number alone.
  • Planned provenance will show whether VAT treatment was declared by the customer or determined from sufficient information by VAT Engine.
3.6.405August 30, 2026

Service Updates Complete More Reliably

2 changes
Fix2 items
  • Service updates now select the correct supporting tool installation, avoid unreviewed breaking-version jumps, and restrict setup scripts during a routine refresh.
  • Background service preparation safeguards remain reliable across supported compact and expanded deployment configuration formats.
3.6.404August 29, 2026

Search Discovery Better Protects Signed-In Areas

2 changes
Security1 item
  • Search engines now receive clearer guidance to avoid sign-in, account-management, administration, and connected-store areas while public pages remain discoverable.
Fix1 item
  • OSS threshold explanations now preserve a proven historical crossing and zero remaining statutory headroom when later closing-balance information is incomplete.
3.6.403August 29, 2026

OSS Crossing History and Review Links Are Clearer

3 changes
Fix2 items
  • A proven OSS threshold crossing remains visible when a later refund lowers the closing balance or later information still needs review.
  • Threshold headroom stays at zero after a proven crossing, while the displayed percentage is clearly identified as the current closing-balance metric.
Improvement1 item
  • The homepage now includes VAT Engine’s official Slashdot reviews listing alongside the existing launchpad links.
3.6.402August 29, 2026

OSS History Remains Accurate After Refunds

4 changes
Fix4 items
  • A previously proven current- or preceding-year OSS threshold crossing remains visible and effective after a later linked refund reduces the closing amount.
  • Conflicting historical establishment observations now request evidence review instead of being presented as proof that the Article 59c threshold does not apply.
  • Linked refunds and their original supplies now use consistent evidence quality in the OSS review queue and event details.
  • Same-day transactions remain in their original chronological order.
3.6.401August 29, 2026

Roadmap Clarifies the Shopify Reconciliation Rollout

3 changes
Improvement3 items
  • The roadmap now marks immutable calculation provenance and connector-neutral expected tax treatment as complete.
  • Expected treatment is clearly identified as shadow evidence that does not yet change Shopify filing results, ledger totals, or locked periods.
  • Observed order comparison, Shopify source-evidence conformance, deterministic reprocessing, operational gates, and controlled cutover are shown as the remaining rollout stages.
3.6.400August 29, 2026

Older OSS Transactions Can Be Refreshed Again

3 changes
Fix3 items
  • A completed historical import can be run again when older transactions need refreshed information after an update.
  • The OSS Overview now renders a zero preceding-year amount and zero source events correctly instead of showing an invalid value.
  • Reviewed OSS threshold coverage remains complete across all EU Member States after an update.
3.6.399August 29, 2026

OSS Warnings Now Open the Right Fix

6 changes
Fix4 items
  • Review imported events now opens a queue limited to material Article 59c evidence gaps, including affected events whose product classification is already complete.
  • The Review queue badge and its default list now represent the same items, so classified events with material OSS information gaps no longer appear as an unexplained non-zero badge and empty queue.
  • Open source profiles now goes directly to the store-level establishment and dispatch settings instead of opening the same integrations page.
  • Configured store defaults fill only missing imported facts; authenticated event evidence continues to take priority.
Improvement2 items
  • Source profiles now show establishment and dispatch defaults in the catalog and explain how those values affect threshold evidence.
  • Changing a store tax-evidence default produces updated shadow decisions while preserving historical decisions and leaving filing, ledger, and locked-period values unchanged.
3.6.398August 29, 2026

OSS Threshold Results Explain Missing Information

7 changes
Fix4 items
  • Domestic, B2B, imported distance-sale, installed-goods, and new-means exclusions no longer become threshold blockers because an unrelated field is missing.
  • The current and preceding calendar years are compared by qualifying net amount, and equality remains below the statutory crossing point.
  • Transactions in another currency remain unresolved until an approved national VAT conversion rule is available; reporting exchange rates are not substituted.
  • Linked refunds adjust the original supply year, while an unlinked correction blocks the result instead of being silently omitted.
Improvement3 items
  • The OSS Overview now shows evaluated, conclusively excluded, and materially blocked event counts with plain-language reasons and next steps.
  • Threshold-crossing evidence and simultaneous destination-treatment triggers remain visible without presenting registration readiness as the legal liability decision.
  • A separate notice now explains when the amount comparison is complete but Article 59c applicability still needs sole-establishment or option information.
