BR-AE-08 Reverse charge taxable amount must equal the reverse charge net sum

In a VAT breakdown (BG-23) where the VAT category code (BT-118) is "Reverse charge" (AE), the VAT category taxable amount (BT-116) shall equal the sum of invoice line net amounts (BT-131) minus document level allowance amounts (BT-92) plus document level charge amounts (BT-99) whose VAT category codes (BT-151, BT-95, BT-102) are "Reverse charge".

Problem Description

In a VAT breakdown (BG-23) where the VAT category code (BT-118) is "Reverse charge" (AE), the VAT category taxable amount (BT-116) shall equal the sum of invoice line net amounts (BT-131) minus document level allowance amounts (BT-92) plus document level charge amounts (BT-99) whose VAT category codes (BT-151, BT-95, BT-102) are "Reverse charge".

Context and Significance

This EN16931 rule reconciles the reverse charge taxable base with the underlying lines and adjustments so the shifted VAT liability is reported on a correct basis.

Solution

Recompute BT-116 for the AE breakdown as Σ BT-131 − Σ BT-92 + Σ BT-99 over the reverse charge elements, then write that value into the AE cac:TaxSubtotal/cbc:TaxableAmount.

Quick actions

Valid Examples

Use these points as the practical checks for this section.

Invalid Examples

Use these points as the practical checks for this section.

  • AE lines Σ BT-131 = 1000.00 but BT-116 = 900.00 in the AE breakdown
