BR-47 Each VAT breakdown group must have a VAT category code

noun · EN 16931 · fatal · BT-118

For a sample invoice, the library reports: VAT breakdown group 1 of the document states no VAT category code (BT-118). Each VAT breakdown (BG-23) shall be defined through one: the code selects the rule family the group is judged by, so a group without it cannot be interpreted.

The fix

State the VAT category code (BT-118) on every VAT breakdown group of the document: the code of the lines and allowances the group sums.

{
  "rule": "BR-47",
  "field": "BT-118",
  "severity": "fatal",
  "message": "VAT breakdown group 1 of the document states no VAT category code (BT-118). Each VAT breakdown (BG-23) shall be defined through one: the code selects the rule family the group is judged by, so a group without it cannot be interpreted.",
  "fix": "State the VAT category code (BT-118) on every VAT breakdown group of the document: the code of the lines and allowances the group sums.",
  "xpath": "/ubl:Invoice/cac:TaxTotal/cac:TaxSubtotal[1]/cac:TaxCategory/cbc:ID",
  "docsUrl": "https://attestwire.com/rules/BR-47"
}

xpath is always a UBL path. On a CII invoice, look for the matching CII field instead.
