Error code BR-CO-14
The total VAT doesn't add up
The total VAT (BT-110) must equal the sum of the VAT amounts per rate (BT-117).
The official rule
“Invoice total VAT amount (BT-110) = Σ VAT category tax amount (BT-117).”
Official text, in the language the rule set publishes it in.
Fields named: BT-110 · BT-117
Common causes
- The VAT total was rounded differently from the VAT per rate.
- A VAT rate was added or changed without recalculating the total.
How to fix it
- Recalculate the VAT breakdown and the total VAT so they match to the cent.
