BR-O-04· Rule

BR-O-04 - VAT number not allowed on an invoice not subject to VAT

When a document level charge is not subject to VAT (O), the invoice carries neither the seller's VAT number (BT-31), nor its representative's (BT-63), nor the buyer's (BT-48).

Fields BT-31

Why your invoice gets rejected

The software always writes the parties' VAT numbers, even for a supply out of scope.

How to fix

  1. 1Remove the VAT numbers of seller and buyer
  2. 2Keep a legal (BT-30) or tax (BT-32) identifier for the seller
  3. 3An invoice out of scope mixes no other category
