Explanation

At least one document-level charge 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.
