Context and Significance

This EN16931 calculation rule ensures the export breakdown taxable base is the exact net of all category G lines, allowances and charges, so the VAT summary reconciles.

Solution

Recompute BT-116 for the G breakdown as Σ BT-131 − Σ BT-92 + Σ BT-99 over all elements with category G, and write it into cac:TaxSubtotal/cbc:TaxableAmount.
