BR-CO-17
Validation message
VAT category tax amount (BT-117) = VAT category taxable amount (BT-116) x (VAT category rate (BT-119) / 100), rounded to two decimals.
Explanation
In every row of the VAT breakdown, the VAT amount must equal the taxable amount times the rate. Differences of less than one currency unit (under €1 for euro) are tolerated, so this error is not a rounding difference but a wrong amount, rate or taxable amount. At 0 % or without a rate, the VAT amount must be 0.
How to fix
Recalculate the VAT amount and ask the seller for a corrected invoice.
