PINT AE validation rule for UAE e-invoices
An exempt discount on the whole invoice must have a VAT rate of zero.
Set the VAT rate of the exempt document level discount to 0.
The official wording of this rule is in the PINT AE specification published by OpenPeppol.
Alya Books builds the invoice XML so this holds; the official rule files confirm it on our sample documents.
يجب أن يكون معدل VAT صفراً للخصم المعفى على مستوى الفاتورة.
اضبط معدل VAT للخصم المعفى على مستوى الفاتورة على 0.
See this rule in the interactive reference, or pre-check an invoice file.
