BR-E-10

This id stands for 2 different rules, one per rule set below: Factur-X numbers its rules in each profile separately.

error: the document is invalid Peppol documentation ↗

Why it fails

  • A VAT breakdown with category E (exempt) has no exemption reason.

How to fix it

Add cbc:TaxExemptionReason (a text, such as the law the exemption rests on) or cbc:TaxExemptionReasonCode from the VATEX list to the breakdown (ram:ExemptionReason / ram:ExemptionReasonCode in CII).

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.
