.Net Framework Upgrade

Starting on release x22.06.26, the Avatax solution components will require the .Net Framework 4.8 runtime installed on every PC running the applications.

Not having this installed will produce issues when running the applications, or not running at all.

In case you don’t have it installed, you can use the official Microsoft link to get it.

Overview

Beginning July 1, 2022, the state of Colorado is imposing a $0.27 Retail Delivery Fee (RDF) on all deliveries by motor vehicle to a location in Colorado with at least one item of tangible personal property subject to state sales and use tax. 

Retailers must separately state the retail delivery fee on all customer invoices and receipts.

Note: The fee is levied on all qualifying deliveries, even when shipping is free.
