No Tax Changes after installing the VAT Update

When opening a company for the first time after running the VAT Update you should receive a message that the new 15% Tax Types have been created. However, when checking the general tax settings, you will find that no changes were made.

This occurs due to one of the following changes applied:

1. The 15% Tax Type was created manually.
2. The end date for the Tax Type were manually changed to 31/03/2018.
