As of

Who can correct it?

The sender can correct the invoice.

How to fix it

  1. Ask the sender for a corrected invoice with a complete delivery address including the country.
  2. Give them the delivery address if they do not have it.
  3. If you issued the invoice yourself: record a delivery address with a country code (for example FR or AT) for intra-EU supplies.

Rule text and source

Paraphrase · When the VAT breakdown contains category K, the delivery address must include a country code. The check uses the country of the actual delivery.

Message to the sender

Subject: Invoice {invoiceNumber} – delivery country missing

Hello,

Thank you for your invoice {invoiceNumber} dated {issueDate}. The invoice shows an intra-community supply, but the delivery address does not state the country (rule BR-IC-12). The country code of the delivery address is required for these supplies. Could you please send us a corrected invoice?

Kind regards

Example

The buyer is in France and receives the goods at a warehouse in Belgium. The export omits the delivery address country. The correction adds BE to the delivery address.
