BR-S-2
Standard VAT: Tax Amount Missing (BT-117)
What This Error Means
When VAT category S is used, the corresponding tax amount (BT-117, cbc:TaxAmount) must be present. The value must equal the taxable amount multiplied by the VAT rate percentage divided by 100, rounded to 2 decimal places.
How to Fix It
Set cbc:TaxAmount = round(TaxableAmount × TaxPercent / 100, 2). For German standard rate: TaxAmount = TaxableAmount × 0.19.
