Sales Tax Rate Change Effective Check

Check that a sales tax rate change applies from its effective date on new invoices.

What to provide

Tax authority notice, the rate change effective date, invoice samples after that date and the tax configuration.

Workflow

1. Record the authority's effective date and new rate.
2. Sample invoices issued after the effective date.
3. Flag invoices still carrying the old rate.
4. Return the exception list without recalculating filed returns.

Output contract

Invoice | date | rate applied | correct rate | exception | reviewer

Fictional acceptance test

Fictional setup: the state rate moved from 6% to 6.5% effective Oct 1; invoices from Oct 3 still show 6%. Flag the stale rate on the 2 sampled invoices.

Review gates and limits

Re-check the effective date on the authority's notice, not the announcement date. Corrections to filed periods follow the authority's process.
