This is the charge-level counterpart of BR-AF-05 and BR-AF-06 for the IGIC category (the Canary Islands indirect tax), which comes from the updated EN16931 code lists supported by the current XRechnung 3.0.2 rulepack.

Set BT-103 (the charge cac:TaxCategory/cbc:Percent) to a non-negative value such as 7.00; never use a negative rate.
