PEPPOL-EN16931-R053

VAT breakdown is not in one group

ErrorPeppol BIS 3.0

Also available in:NederlandsFrançais

What it means

The invoice must contain exactly one VAT total group with the VAT breakdown. Different VAT rates belong in that same breakdown.

Typical causes

  • The export creates a separate VAT group for each rate.
  • A VAT breakdown was duplicated during export.

How to fix it

  1. Check that the VAT breakdown includes all required rates and categories.
  2. Ask your provider to place the breakdown in a single TaxTotal group.
  3. Export and validate the invoice again.
What the rule says (technical)

Only one tax total with tax subtotals MUST be provided.

Merge the VAT breakdowns into one cac:TaxTotal.
