BR-AF-09
What does BR-AF-09 mean? The VAT category tax amount (BT-117) in a VAT breakdown (BG-23) where VAT category code (BT-118) is "IGIC" shall equal the VAT category taxable amount (BT-116) multiplied by the VAT category rate (BT-119).
Why did my invoice fail BR-AF-09?
In a VAT breakdown (BG-23) entry with category code "IGIC" (code L), the VAT category tax amount (BT-117) must equal the taxable amount (BT-116) multiplied by the rate (BT-119). This is the basic arithmetic check that the declared IGIC tax equals base times rate for each breakdown entry.
Official rule text
The VAT category tax amount (BT-117) in a VAT breakdown (BG-23) where VAT category code (BT-118) is "IGIC" shall equal the VAT category taxable amount (BT-116) multiplied by the VAT category rate (BT-119).
Common causes
- Tax amount summed from per-line tax values instead of computed from the breakdown's taxable amount, causing rounding differences
- Percent expressed as a fraction (0.07) instead of a percentage (7)
- Taxable amount updated after an allowance change but the tax amount not recalculated
