How to fix PEPPOL-EN16931-R005

VAT accounting currency code MUST be different from invoice currency code when provided.

What this rule checks

If a tax currency code (BT-6) is provided, it must differ from the document currency code (BT-5). There is no point specifying a separate VAT accounting currency if it is the same as the invoice currency.

How to fix it

Either remove cbc:TaxCurrencyCode, or set it to a different ISO 4217 code than cbc:DocumentCurrencyCode.
