BR-48: A VAT breakdown has no rate
This code shows up when an electronic invoice is validated. Here is what it means, why it fires, and what to change in the file.
Why this code appears
A category that requires a rate carries none (BT-119). A missing element and a rate of zero do not mean the same thing to an auditor.
How to fix it
Fill RateApplicablePercent with the rate as a percentage: 20, not 0.20. For an exempt or out-of-scope category, write 0.
Where it happens
This code comes from EN 16931, the European e-invoicing standard. It concerns business term BT-119.
