Message to the sender

Subject: Invoice {invoiceNumber} – Missing IGIC/IPSI tax identifier on the document-level allowance

Hello,

could you clarify a detail on your invoice {invoiceNumber} dated {issueDate} (BR-IG-03)? A document-level allowance uses the affected tax category (BT-95). Add the seller’s actual VAT identifier or tax registration identifier, or the seller’s tax representative’s VAT identifier, in its corresponding field.

Could you send us the corrected invoice?

Thank you and kind regards

Example

A document-level allowance uses the affected code but the invoice omits all three qualifying tax identifiers. Adding the seller’s actual VAT identifier supplies one of the required identifiers.
