Taxable amount does not match the lines

ErrorEN 16931BT-116

Also available in:NederlandsFrançais

What it means

For each standard or reduced VAT rate (S), the taxable amount must match the line net amounts plus invoice-level charges minus invoice-level allowances at that same rate.

Typical causes

  • An invoice discount was omitted from the calculation.
  • Amounts from different VAT rates were combined.

How to fix it

  1. Group the S lines by VAT rate.
  2. Add matching invoice-level charges and subtract matching invoice-level allowances.
  3. Recalculate the taxable amount for each rate.

What the rule says (technical)

For each different value of VAT category rate (BT-119) where the category is 'Standard rated', the taxable amount (BT-116) shall equal the sum of line net amounts plus charges minus allowances with that category and rate.

Group lines, allowances and charges per VAT rate and use the net total of each group as TaxableAmount.
