IBR-121-AE

PINT AE validation rule for UAE e-invoices

What it means

The exempt entry in the VAT breakdown must not state a VAT rate.

How to fix it

Remove the VAT rate from the exempt VAT breakdown entry.

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