Opera 3 Release 2.82.60

Version

2.82.60

Released

Dec 21

Summary

This release is provided because of EU Intrastat reporting requirements changing from 1 January 2022, specifically:

• The Intrastat reporting changes only apply to Opera customers (businesses) who trade in Northern Ireland (NI) and sell goods to EU member states.

• From 1 January 2022, businesses in England, Scotland and Wales no longer have a requirement to send Intrastat reports to HMRC.

When the legislation becomes effective, two additional items of data are required on the line-by-line details contained within the Supplementary Declaration, but only for despatches (i.e. sales/exports to the EU); the changes do not apply to arrivals (i.e. purchases/imports). The additional items of data required for despatches are:

• Partner ID (EU customer's country code plus VAT registration number)

• Country of origin (CoO); i.e. of the goods being sold.

Note: Businesses in Northern Ireland who import goods from the EU will still have to produce an Intrastat that details such imports (referred to as ‘arrivals’); the Intrastat details for imports are not changing. HMRC will no longer accept the submission of an Intrastat report by an EDI file, from 1 January 2022 the only automated ways to send Intrastat report data to HMRC is by:

• CSV file upload (i.e. CSV file rather than an EDI file)

•  Manual input by the user via an HMRC portal.

This release gives the ability to create the necessary CSV file for upload.

For further details on this requirement, please contact your Pegasus Partner.
