BR-CO-14 BR-CO-14 requires the invoice total VAT amount (BT-110) to equal Σ VAT category tax amounts (BT-117)

BR-CO-14 requires the invoice total VAT amount (BT-110) to equal Σ VAT category tax amounts (BT-117). You declared 1.00 for BT-110, but the invoice lines compute to 285.00 — a difference of -284.00 EUR. VAT is computed per category-and-rate group and rounded there (BR-CO-17), then summed. Computing VAT on the document total instead of per group is the usual cause of a one-cent break.

This rule is implemented and its error payload below is real, but the long-form write-up — normative text, worked example, divergence note — is not written yet. Everything the library knows about this rule is on this page. Ask and we will prioritise it.

The fix

Either correct the line data so it sums to your declared figure, or drop declaredTotals.taxAmount and let the library compute it. Note that EN 16931 sums *rounded* line amounts: round each line to 2 decimals first, then add — rounding only the final sum drifts by a cent or two on long invoices.
