What does BR-CL-06 mean? Value added tax point date code MUST be coded using a restriction of UNTDID 2005.

Why did my invoice fail BR-CL-06?

The value added tax point date code must come from the permitted restriction of the UNTDID 2005 code list. This code (BT-8) indicates when VAT becomes chargeable in coded form. In UBL it is carried in cbc:InvoicePeriod/cbc:DescriptionCode, with allowed values 3, 35 and 432.

Official rule text

Value added tax point date code MUST be coded using a restriction of UNTDID 2005.

Common causes

• A UNTDID 2005 code outside the allowed restriction used
• A date value placed where a code is expected
• Internal enumeration values exported instead of the UNTDID codes

How do I fix it?

<cac:InvoicePeriod>
  <cbc:DescriptionCode>35</cbc:DescriptionCode>
</cac:InvoicePeriod>
