BR-AF-10 IGIC breakdown must not carry an exemption reason

A VAT breakdown (BG-23) with VAT category code (BT-118) "IGIC" shall not have a VAT exemption reason code (BT-121) or VAT exemption reason text (BT-120).

Problem Description

ERROR

EN 16931 rule for IGIC/IPSI (Canary Islands, Ceuta, Melilla)

The IGIC category (the Canary Islands indirect tax) comes from the updated EN16931 code lists supported by the current XRechnung 3.0.2 rulepack and is a taxable category, so an exemption reason would contradict it; exemption reasons belong to categories E, K, G, O or AE.

Solution

Remove cbc:TaxExemptionReasonCode (BT-121) and cbc:TaxExemptionReason (BT-120) from the "L" (IGIC) cac:TaxSubtotal/cac:TaxCategory; IGIC is a taxed category, not an exemption.
