BR-AG-04 IPSI document charge requires a seller tax identifier

An Invoice that contains a Document level charge (BG-21) where the Document level charge VAT category code (BT-102) is "IPSI" 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-charge counterpart of BR-AG-02 and BR-AG-03: a IPSI surcharge (the indirect tax of Ceuta and Melilla) also requires a seller tax identifier, 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 charge uses category "M" (IPSI), e.g. seller VAT ID ESB51123456.
