Validation message

In a VAT breakdown (BG-23) where the VAT category code (BT-118) is "Export outside the EU" the VAT category taxable amount (BT-116) shall equal the sum of Invoice line net amounts (BT-131) minus the sum of Document level allowance amounts (BT-92) plus the sum of Document level charge amounts (BT-99) where the VAT category codes (BT-151, BT-95, BT-102) are "Export outside the EU".

Explanation

The taxable amount in the 'export outside the EU' entry of the VAT breakdown must follow from the amounts of this category: the sum of the line net amounts plus document-level charges minus document-level allowances, counting only export amounts. The amounts on the invoice don't match.

How to fix

Recalculate the sum from the line amounts as they appear on the invoice, and if it differs, ask the seller for a corrected invoice.

This field is required by §14 Abs. 4 Nr. 7 UStG. A missing or incorrect value may affect input VAT deduction (Vorsteuerabzug) for the recipient.
