BR-IC-12 An invoice with an intra-community supply (category K) must state the deliver-to country code (BT-80)

An invoice with an intra-community supply (category K) must state the deliver-to country code (BT-80). The zero rate depends on the goods physically leaving your member state, so the destination has to be on the document.

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

Set deliverTo.countryCode to the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of the destination member state — it must differ from the seller country. Under XRechnung you must also supply deliverTo.city and deliverTo.postalCode (BR-DE-10, BR-DE-11).
