PINT AE validation rule for UAE e-invoices

What it means

A discount or charge may state its VAT exemption reason only once.

How to fix it

Give a single VAT exemption reason for each discount or charge.

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

بالعربية

يجوز أن يذكر الخصم أو الرسم سبب الإعفاء من VAT مرة واحدة فقط.

اذكر سبب إعفاء واحداً من VAT لكل خصم أو رسم.
