PINT AE validation rule for UAE e-invoices

What it means

A discount on the whole invoice that is not subject to VAT must not state a VAT rate.

How to fix it

Remove the VAT rate from the document level discount that is not subject to VAT.

The official wording of this rule is in the PINT AE specification published by OpenPeppol.
