BR-CL-22 is a fatal rule in the business layer of Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.21 · UBL. An invoice that breaks it is rejected.

What this rule requires

The rule requires the cbc:TaxExemptionReasonCode element (in CII: ram:ExemptionReasonCode) to contain a value that appears in the CEF VATEX code list. The test first checks that the normalized value contains no space, then checks that the uppercase form of the value is present in the list provided by the rule. A document fails if the value contains a space or is not in that list.

How to fix

Set the cbc:TaxExemptionReasonCode (or ram:ExemptionReasonCode) value to one of the codes listed in the rule's CEF VATEX code list, for example VATEX-EU-79-C or VATEX-FR-FRANCHISE. Ensure the value has no spaces; case is ignored by the test, but using the exact uppercase form is safest. If the current value is not in the list, replace it with the correct VAT exemption reason code.
