BR-B-02

Validation message

An Invoice that contains an Invoice line (BG-25), a Document level allowance (BG-20) or a Document level charge (BG-21) where the VAT category code (BT-151, BT-95, BT-118 or BT-102) is “Split payment" shall not contain an invoice line (BG-25), a Document level allowance (BG-20) or a Document level charge (BG-21) where the VAT category code (BT-151, BT-95, BT-118 or BT-102) is “Standard rated”.

Explanation

The invoice uses the split payment category and the standard rate at the same time. Under split payment this category replaces the standard rate: no line, allowance, charge or VAT breakdown entry may then be standard rated.

How to fix

Check which category applies and ask the seller for a corrected invoice that uses either split payment or the standard rate throughout.
