Example message from our sample invoice:

With VAT category M (IPSI, Ceuta and Melilla) the VAT amount should be the taxable amount 410.00 times -5 %, that is -20.50. The file says 94.30.

What the rule says

[BR-AG-09]-The VAT category tax amount (BT-117) in a VAT breakdown (BG-23) where VAT category code (BT-118) is "IPSI" shall equal the VAT category taxable amount (BT-116) multiplied by the VAT category rate (BT-119).

Business terms in the wording: BT-117, BG-23, BT-118, BT-116, BT-119

Why the validator reports it

The rule is part of the EN 16931 core. Our checker runs it on every UBL 2.1 invoice and credit note, in the EN 16931, Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 and XRechnung profiles.

How we rate it: error

Where we point in the file: /Invoice/cac:TaxTotal/cac:TaxSubtotal[1]/cbc:TaxAmount

How to fix it

  1. Open the XML file and find the element cac:TaxSubtotal/cbc:TaxAmount.
  2. Add or correct the value the way the wording of the rule above asks for.
  3. Save the file and check it again. The checker runs in your browser, the file is never uploaded.

A correct UBL 2.1 snippet

<cac:TaxSubtotal
    xmlns:cac="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonAggregateComponents-2"
    xmlns:cbc="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonBasicComponents-2">
  <cbc:TaxAmount currencyID="EUR">100.00</cbc:TaxAmount>
</cac:TaxSubtotal>

The snippet is only the part of the document the rule is about, and the values in it are made up. Put it in the right place inside your invoice; the namespaces are written here only so that the snippet reads on its own.

Our check is not complete: we do not check the XSD schema and we do not implement every rule, and a file that passes says nothing about whether the buyer or the Peppol network will accept it. The source of each quoted wording is given next to the quotation.
