PINT AE validation rule for UAE e-invoices
The zero rated entry in the VAT breakdown must have a VAT rate of 0.
Set the VAT rate of the zero rated VAT breakdown entry 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 لقيد نسبة الصفر في تفصيل VAT مساوياً لـ 0.
اضبط معدل VAT لقيد نسبة الصفر في تفصيل VAT على 0.
See this rule in the interactive reference, or pre-check an invoice file.
