For each rate, the taxable amount (BT-116) adds the net line amounts and document-level charges, then subtracts document-level allowances. In CEN 1.3.17 this rule covers IGIC (code L) in UBL and IPSI (code M) in CII. The CII expression can skip the comparison because it looks for the rate one XML level above the tax group.

Message to the sender

Subject: Invoice {invoiceNumber} – The taxable amount for IGIC/IPSI does not add up

Hello,

could you clarify a detail on your invoice {invoiceNumber} dated {issueDate} (BR-IG-08)? For each rate, the taxable amount (BT-116) adds the net line amounts and document-level charges, then subtracts document-level allowances. Recalculate the taxable amount for each rate and category from the relevant lines, allowances and charges.

Could you send us the corrected invoice?

Thank you and kind regards

Example

For the same category and rate, EUR 100 in line net amounts plus a EUR 5 charge less a EUR 10 allowance gives a taxable amount of EUR 95. EUR 100 omits both adjustments.
