Validation message
The VAT category tax amount (BT-117) in a VAT breakdown (BG-23) where the VAT category code (BT-118) is "Export outside the EU" shall be 0 (zero).
Explanation
Exports outside the EU carry no VAT. The tax amount in the 'export outside the EU' entry of the VAT breakdown must therefore be 0.
How to fix
Ask the seller for a corrected invoice. If VAT really was charged on these amounts, the category 'export' was the wrong choice.
