PINT AE validation rule for UAE e-invoices

What it means

The total VAT amount must equal the VAT amounts of all VAT breakdown entries added together.

How to fix it

Correct the total VAT amount so it matches the VAT breakdown.

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

بالعربية
