Why has my vendor discount been offset?
Overview
When reviewing and approving your returns, you have found an adjustment with a note similar to "Offsetting current discount amount due to lack of collect amount".
Environment
AvaTax Update
Resolution
- There are instances where you will see the negative discount accompanied by a matching positive amount.
- The notation on the positive amount will be labeled as "Offsetting current discount amount due to lack of collect amount".
- This is due to the Amount Due to Avalara and the Remittance to Tax Authority amounts in the prior period being $0 or negative.
- As nothing was paid to Avalara for the remittance and no payment was submitted to the jurisdiction, the prior period discount would not apply.
