PINT AE validation rule for UAE e-invoices
If any line, document level discount or document level charge is zero rated, the VAT breakdown must contain exactly one zero rated entry.
Keep exactly one zero rated entry in the VAT breakdown.
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.
إذا كان أي بند أو خصم أو رسم على مستوى الفاتورة خاضعاً لنسبة الصفر، يجب أن يتضمن تفصيل VAT قيداً واحداً فقط لنسبة الصفر.
أبقِ قيداً واحداً فقط لنسبة الصفر في تفصيل VAT.
See this rule in the interactive reference, or pre-check an invoice file.
