BR-G-08

What does this rule mean?

In a VAT breakdown (BG-23) where the VAT category code (BT-118) is "Export outside the EU" the VAT category taxable amount (BT-116) shall equal the sum of Invoice line net amounts (BT-131) minus the sum of Document level allowance amounts (BT-92) plus the sum of Document level charge amounts (BT-99) where the VAT category codes (BT-151, BT-95, BT-102) are "Export outside the EU".

A calculation/amount rule: the figures it names must reconcile arithmetically.

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.

Technical test

The rule passes when this Schematron expression holds true:

(../ram:BasisAmount -1 < (round(sum(/rsm:CrossIndustryInvoice/rsm:SupplyChainTradeTransaction/ram:IncludedSupplyChainTradeLineItem/ram:SpecifiedLineTradeSettlement[ram:ApplicableTradeTax/ram:CategoryCode = 'G']/ram:SpecifiedTradeSettlementLineMonetarySummation/xs:decimal(ram:LineTotalAmount))*10*10)div 100) + (round(sum(/rsm:CrossIndustryInvoice/rsm:SupplyChainTradeTransaction/ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement/ram:SpecifiedTradeAllowanceCharge[ram:ChargeIndicator/udt:Indicator=true() and ram:CategoryTradeTax/ram:CategoryCode='G']/xs:decimal(ram:ActualAmount))*10*10)div 100) - (round(sum(/rsm:CrossIndustryInvoice/rsm:SupplyChainTradeTransaction/ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement/ram:SpecifiedTradeAllowanceCharge[ram:ChargeIndicator/udt:Indicator=false() and ram:CategoryTradeTax/ram:CategoryCode='G']/xs:decimal(ram:ActualAmount))*10*10)div 100)) and (../ram:BasisAmount +1 > (round(sum(/rsm:CrossIndustryInvoice/rsm:SupplyChainTradeTransaction/ram:IncludedSupplyChainTradeLineItem/ram:SpecifiedLineTradeSettlement[ram:ApplicableTradeTax/ram:CategoryCode = 'G']/ram:SpecifiedTradeSettlementLineMonetarySummation/xs:decimal(ram:LineTotalAmount))*10*10)div 100) + (round(sum(/rsm:CrossIndustryInvoice/rsm:SupplyChainTradeTransaction/ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement/ram:SpecifiedTradeAllowanceCharge[ram:ChargeIndicator/udt:Indicator=true() and ram:CategoryTradeTax/ram:CategoryCode='G']/xs:decimal(ram:ActualAmount))*10*10)div 100) - (round(sum(/rsm:CrossIndustryInvoice/rsm:SupplyChainTradeTransaction/ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement/ram:SpecifiedTradeAllowanceCharge[ram:ChargeIndicator/udt:Indicator=false() and ram:CategoryTradeTax/ram:CategoryCode='G']/xs:decimal(ram:ActualAmount))*10*10)div 100))
