Total VAT amount is wrong (BR-CO-14)
- Standard: EN 16931
- Severity: error
- Affected fields: BT-110, BT-117
Meaning
The invoice total VAT amount (BT-110) must equal the tax amounts of all VAT categories (BT-117) added up. The rule recomputes it, rounded to two decimals; any difference is an error.
Original text of the rule
Invoice total VAT amount (BT-110) = Σ VAT category tax amount (BT-117).
Possible causes
- A tax amount in the VAT breakdown was changed, but the total was not.
- The total VAT was rounded per line, the breakdown per category.
How to fix it
- In your invoicing software, recalculate the tax amounts and create the invoice again.
- In the XML: set BT-110 to the sum of all BT-117 (UBL cac:TaxTotal/cbc:TaxAmount, CII ram:TaxTotalAmount in the invoice currency).
