New features

• New Online filing of GST Returns (NZ) and VAT Returns (UK)

In New Zealand you will find a new command at the bottom of the Commands menu: IRD Connect…; in the UK there will be an HMRC Connect… command. These allow data from a previously run GST/VAT report to be uploaded using your IRD/HMRC login credentials.

• New QR Code generation in forms and reports

The barcode Picture type on a form or the barcode cell type in a custom report may contain the text qrcode: followed by data to be encoded as a QR Code. The size and type of encoding is determined automatically to suit the data you supply.
