BR-S-02

An Invoice that contains an Invoice line (BG-25) where the Invoiced item VAT category code (BT-151) is "Standard rated" 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).

error: the document is invalid Peppol documentation ↗

Why it fails

  • Standard rated lines are invoiced, but the seller has no VAT identifier, tax registration identifier or tax representative.

How to fix it

Add the seller's VAT identifier (cac:PartyTaxScheme with tax scheme VAT), or its national tax number as BT-32 (tax scheme other than VAT, such as FC 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.
