Original rule text
[BR-45]-Each VAT breakdown (BG-23) shall have a VAT category taxable amount (BT-116).
exists(cbc:TaxableAmount)BR-45 is a fatal rule in the business layer of Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.20 · UBL. An invoice that breaks it is rejected. It refers to BG-23, BT-116.
What this rule requires
The rule requires each VAT breakdown (BG-23) to include a VAT category taxable amount (BT-116). In UBL, every cac:TaxTotal/cac:TaxSubtotal must contain a cbc:TaxableAmount; in CII, every ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement/ram:ApplicableTradeTax must contain a ram:BasisAmount. A document fails this fatal rule if that element is missing.
How to fix
Add the taxable amount element to each VAT breakdown: in UBL, insert cbc:TaxableAmount inside cac:TaxSubtotal; in CII, insert ram:BasisAmount inside ram:ApplicableTradeTax. Provide the taxable amount for that VAT category as the element value.
