Validation message

The VAT category tax amount (BT-117) in a VAT breakdown (BG-23) where VAT category code (BT-118) is "Zero rated" shall equal 0 (zero).

Explanation

Under the zero rate, VAT is charged at 0%. The VAT amount of the 'zero rated' category in the VAT breakdown must therefore be 0.

How to fix

Check whether the category is right. Ask the seller for a corrected invoice: with a VAT amount of 0, or with the correct VAT category if VAT is in fact 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.
