Validation message
In an Invoice line (BG-25) where the Invoiced item VAT category code (BT-151) is "Standard rated" the Invoiced item VAT rate (BT-152) shall be greater than zero.
Explanation
At least one line is in the 'standard rate' category. Its VAT rate must then be greater than 0; the category covers every positive rate, reduced rates included. Supplies without VAT have their own categories, such as zero rated, exempt or reverse charge.
How to fix
Ask the seller for a corrected invoice with the correct VAT rate, or with the appropriate category if no VAT is due.
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.
