Validation message

A Document level allowance (BG-20) where VAT category code (BT-95) is "Not subject to VAT" shall not contain a Document level allowance VAT rate (BT-96).

Explanation

At least one document-level allowance is classed as not subject to VAT. Such an item is outside the scope of VAT, so EN 16931 allows no VAT rate on it, not even 0%.

How to fix

Ask the seller for a corrected invoice with no VAT rate on this item, or with the correct VAT category if the supply is taxable after all.

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.

Applies to

  • EN 16931 (UBL)
