BR-G-08 Export taxable amount must equal the net sum

In a VAT breakdown (BG-23) where the VAT category code (BT-118) is "Export outside the EU" (G), the VAT category taxable amount (BT-116) shall equal the sum of invoice line net amounts (BT-131) minus document level allowance amounts (BT-92) plus document level charge amounts (BT-99) that carry category G.

Problem Description

ERROR

EN 16931 VAT category rule

Context and Significance

This EN16931 calculation rule ensures the taxable base of the G breakdown is the exact net of all category G lines, allowances and charges. In practice, the gap appears when freight or a discount with category G is left out of BT-116, or when domestic and export lines are mixed in one breakdown.

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.

Quick actions

Valid Examples

  • Two G lines BT-131 = 600.00 and 400.00, no allowances/charges, BT-116 = 1000.00

Invalid Examples

  • G lines net to 1000.00 but the G breakdown reports BT-116 = 900.00
