Where the rule applies
Syntax: CII · UBL
The same rule, expressed twice: UBL and CII name the same fields with different paths. Running a CII file against the UBL rules is why you get errors that mean nothing.
UBL
/*/cac:TaxTotal/cac:TaxSubtotal/cac:TaxCategory[normalize-space(cbc:ID) = 'M'][cac:TaxScheme/normalize-space(upper-case(cbc:ID))='VAT']
CII
//rsm:SupplyChainTradeTransaction/ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement/ram:ApplicableTradeTax[ram:CategoryCode = 'M'][upper-case(ram:TypeCode) = 'VAT']
