VAT total doesn’t match the breakdown

ErrorEN 16931BT-110BT-117

Also available in:NederlandsFrançais

What it means

The invoice VAT total (BT-110) must equal the VAT amounts in the breakdown added together. The reported total differs from that sum.

Typical causes

  • A VAT breakdown entry was changed without updating the total
  • The total was calculated separately using different rounding

How to fix it

  1. Add the VAT amounts from every entry in the breakdown.
  2. Set the invoice VAT total to that sum, using the invoice currency.

What the rule says (technical)
