In Norway there are still customers using the old Norwegian VAT-report because using the new electronic reporting-format is too time-consuming. Characteristics for the customers using the old VAT-report: they have a lot of legal entities and in each legal entity they can have several properties (using ISV FlexProperty). The Norwegian tax-law demand to have specific sales tax codes with different deduction-rates related to each property. Different deduction-rates are taken care of in the setup of the sales tax code.

Each legal entity can acquire properties during a year, but it’s also common to acquire properties that require a new legal entity. New legal entities can also be created several times during a year.

The customers find it very time-consuming to create and maintain the setup for sales tax codes in electronic reporting, where each sales tax code must be assigned to a standard sales tax code.

The idea: the setup in the StandardTaxCodes_Lookup-section can be expanded with Sales tax group and Item sales tax group, like the way it’s already done in the VATSpecificaton_Lookup-section.
