BR-S-07: In a Document level charge (BG-21) where the Document level charge VAT category code…

The rule requires that for any document level charge (BG-21) where the document level charge VAT category code (BT-102) is "Standard rated" (in UBL: TaxCategory with cbc:ID 'S' under a VAT tax scheme; in CII: CategoryTradeTax with ram:CategoryCode 'S' and ram:TypeCode 'VAT'), the document level charge VAT rate (BT-103) must be greater than zero. In UBL this is the cbc:Percent element within that TaxCategory; in CII it is ram:RateApplicablePercent. A document fails this rule when the VAT rate is missing, zero, or negative for a standard-rated document level charge.

For the relevant document level charge, ensure the VAT rate is a positive decimal value. In UBL: locate cac:AllowanceCharge with cbc:ChargeIndicator true, then cac:TaxCategory with normalized cbc:ID 'S' and VAT tax scheme; set cbc:Percent to a number greater than 0 (e.g., 19). In CII: locate ram:SpecifiedTradeAllowanceCharge with ram:ChargeIndicator true, then ram:CategoryTradeTax with ram:CategoryCode 'S' and ram:TypeCode 'VAT'; set ram:RateApplicablePercent to a number greater than 0. If the charge is not actually standard-rated, correct the VAT category code to the appropriate value instead.
