Explanation

At least one line is in the 'zero rated' category. Its VAT rate must then be 0.

How to fix

Check whether the category is right. Ask the seller for a corrected invoice with a VAT rate of 0%, or with the appropriate category if 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.
