A country-specific update for Italy to support a new format of VAT declaration IVA 2015 in Microsoft Dynamics AX

The Italian authority has published a new format of annual communication of VAT data in electronic format that differs from the previous format. The new format must be used by companies who provide the authority with the annual VAT statement for starting from 2014 tax period. The form for the annual communication of VAT data must be submitted electronically.

The annual VAT declaration has ASCII format and consists of four kinds of records:
- Record type "A" is the head of delivery records and contains the identification data of the declaration supplier and the tax code of the subject responsible for sending the declaration electronically;
- Record type "B" is the record that contains personal information and other title data;
- Record type "D" is the record that contains the data related to the informational blocks of the VAT 2015;
- Record type "Z" is the record that contains summary data of the report.

After you install this hotfix, you need to define or adjust (if required) non-positional fields of Record type "D"'.
Setup of Record type "D" non-positional fields can be performed through the Yearly tax communication setup form through:
General Ledger > Setup > Sales tax > External > Yearly tax communication setup.
