The Belgian payroll setup now combines two spouse fiscal status choices that had the same tax effect into one clearer option. This reduces confusion for HR users while keeping withholding tax calculations unchanged.

The "High Income" and "High Pension" options of the Spouse Fiscal Status field have the exact same impact on an employee's withholding taxes. Keeping them separate creates unnecessary clutter in the interface.

This change merges both options into a single "With High Income or Pension" option.

Support teams can now review report snapshots directly from the advanced report configuration view available in debug mode. This helps them investigate customer issues faster by checking whether reported accounting report problems are linked to saved snapshots.

The form view of account.report is only accessible in debug mode, so we can put more advanced debugging/configuration things in it. This way, it'll be easier for support to investigate and check whether the bug reported in a ticket is connected to the snapshots.
