What it means
This CII rule checks the rate in ram:CategoryTradeTax within ram:SpecifiedTradeAllowanceCharge at header settlement level. A supplied rate must use percentage notation without a % sign and belong to the permitted rate set. A missing rate is not flagged by this rule.
Why it matters
The rate records the VAT percentage associated with the discount or charge. Writing a fraction instead can record a different percentage.
How to fix it
Find the affected whole-invoice discount or charge and correct its VAT rate, BT-96 or BT-103 respectively. Confirm the intended rate rather than choosing another rate merely to clear the message. If you mean 20 percent, write 20 without %. Export the corrected CII file and recheck it.
