BR-AF-03 IGIC document allowance requires a seller tax identifier

An Invoice that contains a Document level allowance (BG-20) where the Document level allowance VAT category code (BT-95) is "IGIC" shall contain the Seller VAT Identifier (BT-31), the Seller tax registration identifier (BT-32) and/or the Seller tax representative VAT identifier (BT-63).

Problem Description

ERROR

XRechnung 3.0

Context and Significance

This is the document-allowance counterpart of BR-AF-02: any IGIC deduction (the Canary Islands indirect tax) still needs the seller to be tax-registered, and the category comes from the updated EN16931 code lists supported by the current XRechnung 3.0.2 rulepack.

Solution

Provide a seller tax identifier (BT-31, BT-32 or BT-63) whenever a document level allowance uses category "L" (IGIC), e.g. seller VAT ID ESB35123456.
