Release Notes 20.00.XX - english

Situation:

The calculation for line 83, Net Profit (CH) subtracts the value from line 82.3 and line 11 of the Investment Deduction (CH) takes the value from Net Profit (CH) line 82.3.

Solution:

Line 83, Net Income (CH) is calculated from line 79, minus line 80, plus line 82.2 and minus line 82.

Line 11, Participation Deduction (CH) now feeds from line 3, Federal Tax (CH).

Situation:

The effects from the lines „Change in consolidation (cur. year)" in the dialog Others are not processed correctly in TRR for a foreign company.

The value of the line "Additions/Disposals loss carried forward corporate tax" is displayed twice in the TRR. The value of the line "Additions/Disposals loss carried forward local tax" is not shown at all in TRR.

Solution:

The TRR line "Deviations due to local tax" only contains the other line "Additions/Disposals loss carried forward local tax".

Interfaces

Situation:

If problems occur when establishing an RFC connection to an SAP system, three attempts are always made in sequence. If the connection could not be established due to an incorrect password in the connection configuration of GTC, this can lead to the SAP account being locked.

Solution:

Only one attempt is made to establish a connection to the SAP system per each import.

Usability

Correction of English translations

Situation:

Currently, it is not possible to set the milestone to the status "plausible" or close it in planning periods when the tax audit module is activated.

Solution:

The milestone can be set to the status "plausible" or closed again in planning periods.

Situation:

The Excel and print views in the dialog MVB - IFRS or MVB - STB were not displayed correctly. The heading columns have been moved.

Solution:

The Excel and print views in the dialog MVB - IFRS or MVB - STB are displayed correctly. The headings are displayed completely.

Audit issues

The interface for the import of tax audit data has been revised.
The import supports the addition, change and deletion of issues. Individual attributes (e.g. "status") of imported issues can still be edited in the GTC. The GTC user can see which issues have been imported.
To simplify the integration of this interface, log outputs have been added.

GewSt 1 A

(german tax law)

Situation:

If a period is copied from tax form 2017 to tax form 2019, the value from line 34 GewSt1A (tax form 2017) is copied to line 34 GewSt1A (tax form 2019). This is not correct, as line 34 of tax form 2017 is now line 33 in tax form 2019.

Solution:

Line 34 GewSt1A (tax form 2017) is no longer copied to line 34 GewSt1A (tax form 2019). Line 33 GewSt1A (tax form 2019) is calculated.

§8b KStG

Situation:

The structure of the §8b issues in the tax form 2019 is different from previous years. The import template and the standard report for the issues have not yet been adjusted accordingly.

Solution:

A new import template is now defined for tax form 2019, the import routine has been adapted accordingly.
The standard report for §8b-issues is also adapted to the new structure. The report can be accessed directly in the overview for §8b issues and replaces the special reports "8b-Report for indirect investments" and "8b-Report for all investments".

Situation:

In the Swiss tax calculation, the canton "Basel Stadt" was previously given special treatment, as the tax calculation was based on a yield-dependent tax rate.

Solution:

With BRG 1300881 the standard calculation is also used for the canton "Basel Stadt". For this purpose, the currently valid tax rate of 6.5% must be entered in the tax rate import file in the column "Total - Level 1" of the municipalities in the canton of "Basel Stadt".

Situation:

If the language in the GTC is set to "english", the dialog "ERiC transfer" cannot be called.

Solution:

The missing translations were added, so that the dialog "ERiC transfer" can be used even if the language is set to "english".

Tax liabilities

Situation:

In the dialog Tax liabilities there is a fixed link between current taxes and this dialog: In the case of standalone companies, for example, line 49.1 goes into the second column of the dialog as tax expense/income. Tax group members do not have their own tax expense, which is why there is no link there.
If a company now changes from a tax group member to a standalone company, the 0.00 in the last column of the previous period is not transferred as the opening balance. Instead, it is calculated again using the settings for the current period (that is, standalone) and then transferred. As a result, the company suddenly has an opening balance.

Solution:

The opening balance in the current period corresponds to the closing balance of the previous period.

Situation:

If several users simultaneously retrieve data from different SAP systems, error messages may occur sporadically (invalid user/password).

Solution:
The SAP interface has been enhanced so that simultaneous data retrievals are processed correctly.

Situation:

The list of available Web Services and the list of all users can be retrieved by all logged-in users if the URL is entered directly.

Solution:
When retrieving the list, the system checks whether the user has the necessary authorizations.

TB Transfer

Situation: 

In the TB transfer, a balance sheet item number can be entered under lines 59.3.5 and 59.4.5. Then the value from rows 59.3.5 and 59.4.5 is transferred accordingly to the balance sheet comparison (tab Local GAAP - Tax Balance). The TB transfer had to be saved twice for the value to be transferred correctly.

Solution:

After the first saving the value is correctly transferred to the Balance Sheet Comparison

Anlage OG

(german tax law)

Situation:

If row 16 in dialog Anlage OG is not calculated, it should be cleared. This does not yet happen in periods with tax form 2019.

Solution:

If row 16 in dialog Anlage OG is not calculated, it will be cleared correctly in periods with tax form 2019.

GewSt 1 A

(german tax law)

Situation:

If a period is copied from tax form 2017 to tax form 2019, the value from line 34 GewSt1A (tax form 2017) is copied to line 34 GewSt1A (tax form 2019). This is not correct, as line 34 of tax form 2017 is now line 33 in tax form 2019.

Solution:

Line 34 GewSt1A (tax form 2017) is no longer copied to line 34 GewSt1A (tax form 2019). Line 33 GewSt1A (tax form 2019) is calculated.

Tax Reports

(german tax lax)

Situation:

The report "Kurzübersicht Organgesellschaften" does not work.
In periods with tax form 2017, the report is executed but does not contain any data. In periods with tax forms 2018 and 2019, the report cannot be executed.
The report is erroneously also displayed for foreign companies.

Solution:

The report "Kurzübersicht Organgesellschaften" is created correctly in periods with tax forms 2016 and 2017.
In periods with tax form 2018 and later, the report cannot be executed. Short overview reports are available in Confluence as "Own Reports" for download.
