BR-S-08: Standard-rate VAT breakdown mismatch

Severity: error

What it means

For a Standard rated VAT category rate (BT-119), the VAT category taxable amount (BT-116) in a VAT breakdown does not equal the sum of Invoice line net amounts plus document-level charges minus document-level allowances that carry that VAT rate.

Most common cause

Usually cascades from missing or removed invoice lines (e.g. BR-16), or a VAT breakdown that was hand-edited without recalculating it from the lines.

How to fix it

Recompute each VAT category's taxable amount from the lines, charges and allowances that carry that VAT rate, at the source system.
