Validation message
In a Document level allowance (BG-20) where the Document level allowance VAT category code (BT-95) is "Standard rated" the Document level allowance VAT rate (BT-96) shall be greater than zero.
Explanation
At least one document-level allowance 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.
