BR-AE-02

An Invoice that contains an Invoice line (BG-25) where the Invoiced item VAT category code (BT-151) is "Reverse charge" shall contain the Seller VAT Identifier (BT-31), the Seller Tax registration identifier (BT-32) and/or the Seller tax representative VAT identifier (BT-63) and the Buyer VAT identifier (BT-48) and/or the Buyer legal registration identifier (BT-47).

error: the document is invalid Peppol documentation ↗

Why it fails

  • A line is reverse charged (category AE) but the seller's VAT identifier, or the buyer's VAT or legal registration identifier, is missing.

How to fix it

Reverse charge needs both sides identified: add the seller's VAT number (BT-31) and the buyer's VAT number (BT-48) in cac:PartyTaxScheme of each party. The rule also accepts the seller's tax registration identifier (BT-32) or tax representative, and the buyer's legal registration identifier (BT-47).

What the rule checks

As the rule set's publisher wrote it. The rule runs on every element the context matches, and fails where the test is false; the validator reports the line of that element.
