With VAT category G (export outside the EU) the VAT amount in the breakdown has to be zero (cbc:TaxAmount = 0); the file says 94.30.

cbc:TaxAmount. - Add or correct the element the way the wording of the rule above asks for.
- Save the file and check it again with our checker. It runs in your browser, the file is never uploaded.

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. Licences for the quoted wordings are listed in our sources.
