UBL Invoice — exempt VAT without an exemption reason (BR-E-10) and a wrong exempt base (BR-E-08)

Name: UBL Invoice — exempt VAT without an exemption reason (BR-E-10) and a wrong exempt base (BR-E-08) — UBL 2.1 Invoice sample file
Creator: ValidateFin
License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Una factura exenta mal hecha, por partida doble. BR-E-10: el desglose de IVA de la categoría E no lleva ni motivo de exención (BT-120) ni código de motivo (BT-121); una factura exenta debe decir POR QUÉ. BR-E-08: la base exenta declara 1.200,00 mientras que las líneas exentas suman 1.500,00, porque la segunda línea nunca llegó al desglose. El error citado es el de la capa de reglas de negocio; el Schematron oficial EN 16931 añade además BR-E-10.

  ValidateFin sample file — UBL invoice, Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 (EN 16931).
  DELIBERATELY BROKEN — exempt VAT done wrong, two ways at once.
  1. BR-E-10: the VAT breakdown for category E carries NEITHER a VAT exemption reason
     text (BT-120) NOR an exemption reason code (BT-121). An exempt invoice must say
     WHY it is exempt.
  2. BR-E-08: the exempt taxable amount declares 1 200.00 while the exempt lines add
     up to 1 500.00 (1 200.00 + 300.00) — one line was simply left out of the breakdown.
  Expected validation result: INVALID.

  All parties and account numbers are fictitious.

Cómo sabemos que estos resultados se sostienen

Cada fichero de esta biblioteca pasa por el propio validador del sitio en cada build. El resultado esperado indicado arriba lo verifica un test automatizado: si un fichero dejara de coincidir con lo que afirma esta página, el build fallaría. Dos fixtures heredadas se repararon así antes de publicarse: tres IBAN no superaban el mod-97 y varios nombres usaban caracteres fuera del juego SEPA básico.
