How to fix PEPPOL-EN16931-P0105

Tax Category O MUST be used when exemption reason code is VATEX-EU-O.

What this rule checks

When the VAT exemption reason code is 'VATEX-EU-O' (not subject to VAT), the tax category code must be 'O'. This ensures that out-of-scope VAT items use the correct category.

How to fix it

Set cac:TaxCategory → cbc:ID to 'O' when cac:TaxCategory → cbc:TaxExemptionReasonCode is 'VATEX-EU-O', or change the exemption reason code to match.
