As of

Who can correct it?

The sender can correct the invoice.

How to fix it

  1. Ask the sender for a corrected invoice in which the VAT breakdown matches the invoice lines.
  2. If you issued the invoice yourself: let your invoicing software calculate the breakdown instead of entering amounts by hand, and check that every line, allowance and charge has the right category.

Message to the sender

Subject: Invoice {invoiceNumber} – VAT breakdown does not add up

Hello,

Thank you for your invoice {invoiceNumber} dated {issueDate}. When checking it we noticed that the taxable amount in the VAT breakdown for the zero rate category does not equal the total of the related lines, allowances and charges (rule BR-Z-08). Could you please check the amounts and send us a corrected invoice?

Kind regards

Example

The lines net to EUR 210. There is also a EUR 30 document-level charge and a EUR 10 document-level allowance in category Z. The breakdown incorrectly reports a taxable amount of EUR 210. The correction reports EUR 230.
