Remove the VAT rate from outside-scope lines

ErrorEN 16931BT-152

Also available in:NederlandsFrançais

What it means

A line outside the scope of VAT (O) must not contain a VAT rate. Even a rate of 0% must be omitted.

Typical causes

  • The software inserts 0% for every untaxed line.
  • A VAT rate was retained after changing the category.

How to fix it

  1. Check that outside-scope treatment is correct.
  2. Remove the VAT rate from the line; ask your provider to omit cbc:Percent if necessary.
What the rule says (technical)

An Invoice line where the VAT category code is 'Not subject to VAT' shall not contain an invoiced item VAT rate (BT-152).

Remove cbc:Percent from O lines.
