Standard-rated VAT is missing from the breakdown

ErrorEN 16931BT-118

Also available in:NederlandsFrançais

What it means

If a line, invoice-level discount or charge uses the standard-rated VAT category S, the VAT breakdown must contain at least one S entry. That entry is missing.

Typical causes

  • Standard-rated lines were exported without their VAT summary
  • The breakdown uses a different VAT category from the invoice details

How to fix it

  1. Check which lines, invoice-level discounts and charges use category S.
  2. Regenerate the VAT breakdown so it includes the matching standard-rated entries.
What the rule says (technical)

An Invoice that contains a line, allowance or charge where the VAT category code is 'Standard rated' shall contain in the VAT breakdown at least one VAT category code equal to 'Standard rated'.

Add a cac:TaxSubtotal with category S for each standard rate used.
