BR-O-08 Not-subject-to-VAT taxable amount must equal its line and adjustment sum

In a VAT breakdown (BG-23) where the VAT category code (BT-118) is "Not subject to VAT" (O), the VAT category taxable amount (BT-116) shall equal the sum of invoice line net amounts (BT-131) minus the sum of document level allowance amounts (BT-92) plus the sum of document level charge amounts (BT-99) that carry category O.

Problem Description

ERROR

EN 16931 VAT category rule

Context and Significance

This EN16931 rule keeps the amount of the O breakdown consistent with the category O lines, allowances and charges, so the summary can be checked. In practice, the gap appears when a document level allowance or charge with category O is left out of BT-116.

Solution

Compute BT-116 as Σ BT-131 − Σ BT-92 + Σ BT-99 restricted to the category-O lines, allowances and charges, and write it into the O TaxSubtotal TaxableAmount.

Quick actions

Valid Examples

  • O lines net 100.00, no O allowances or charges → BT-116 = 100.00

Invalid Examples

  • O lines net 100.00 but BT-116 reported as 90.00
