Indirect tax doesn't hold still. Mandates phase in, thresholds shift, and the rules a business follows this quarter can look different by next quarter. Staying compliant means working with infrastructure that keeps pace with those changes instead of falling behind them.
That's why we ship updates continuously rather than saving them for one big release. Here's some of the key updates that shipped in July 2026 across Knowledge, Validate, and E-invoicing.
Introducing Fonoa Knowledge
If you missed it, we recently launched Fonoa Knowledge, an enterprise-grade AI tax monitoring solution built to give tax and finance teams fast, sourced answers to indirect tax questions instead of hours spent digging through regulations and guidance documents. You can read the full story behind why we built it and how it works in our launch article.
Instant Validate expands to France, Germany, and Spain
Instant Validate now delivers sub-second, high-uptime VAT number validation in three more major EU markets: France, Germany, and Spain.
VAT number validation needs to keep up with checkout and onboarding, and government databases like VIES aren't always built for that. They can be slow or temporarily unavailable, which is a real risk for any workflow that depends on a fast, reliable answer.
Instant Validate now covers France, Germany, and Spain with sub-second response times, backed by Fonoa's own pre-validated data rather than a live call to a government system. The result is a validation check that holds up during high-volume checkout and onboarding, without the uptime risk of relying on a third-party database. Coverage is for business entities; personal TIN validation isn't supported.
E-invoicing coverage expands to Singapore and Romania
To support the ever-growing e-invoicing mandates across the world, Fonoa is now an accredited Access Point in Singapore and supports accounts payable in Romania.
Singapore: Fonoa is now an accredited Peppol Access Point
Fonoa has been accredited as an InvoiceNow Access Point, giving businesses a direct integration to IRAS through the Peppol network using the PINT-SG standard. The connection covers both accounts receivable and accounts payable, so GST-registered businesses can send and receive e-invoices through Fonoa as Singapore's InvoiceNow mandate continues to phase in.
Romania: accounts payable support closes the compliance loop
Romania's e-invoicing mandate has required businesses to clear invoices through ANAF since 2024, and Fonoa has supported the accounts receivable side of that from the start. Now the accounts payable side is covered too. Tenants can fetch incoming invoices from ANAF, ingest them in UBL or CII format, and submit business responses, so buyers aren't left managing incoming compliance manually or risking non-deductible VAT on invoices that fall through the cracks.
What these product updates mean for indirect tax teams
Each of these updates solves a specific problem indirect tax and finance teams run into: adjusted transactions that need to stay accurate after the sale, jurisdictions that require broader filing coverage, validation checks that need to be fast and reliable, and e-invoicing mandates that cover both sides of a transaction. We'll keep shipping updates like these as the regulatory landscape moves, so your team can stay ahead of it rather than reacting to it.
Fonoa is the Tax Operating System for autonomous tax. AI that tracks every rule, acts on every obligation, and proves every decision, built on modular infrastructure to automate the entire tax lifecycle. Speak with our team to learn more.
