BR-CL-22

Explanation

The reason why no VAT, or not the full VAT, is charged can be stated as a code from the VATEX list, such as VATEX-EU-AE (reverse charge) or VATEX-EU-IC (intra-Community supply). The stated code is not in the list; upper and lower case don't matter.

How to fix

Ask the seller for a corrected invoice with a code from the VATEX list. If none fits, the exemption reason as text is enough.

This field is required by §14 Abs. 4 Nr. 8 UStG. A missing or incorrect value may affect input VAT deduction (Vorsteuerabzug) for the recipient.
