BR-RO-160: Tax representative in Bucharest must use a sector code as city

What it means

When the tax representative's country code (BT-69) is RO and their county (country subdivision, BT-68) is RO-B, the tax representative's city (BT-66) must be exactly one of SECTOR1, SECTOR2, SECTOR3, SECTOR4, SECTOR5 or SECTOR6. The rule does not apply to any other county.

Why it matters

Bucharest is divided into six sectors, and the Romanian rules want the sector as the city so that addresses in Bucharest are written in one fixed form. Any other value, such as the word Bucharest, makes the file fail the check and it is rejected.

How to fix it

In the tax representative's address, set the city to the sector code that matches the address, for example SECTOR3, in capitals and with no space. Bucharest, Bucuresti and Sector 3 all fail. Keep the county as RO-B. If the address is not in Bucharest, the county is the wrong one, so change it to the correct county code instead.

The rule as published

Daca Codul tarii Reprezentantului fiscal al Vanzatorului (BT-69) este RO si Subdiviziunea tarii Reprezentantului fiscal al Vanzatorului (BT-68) este RO-B (corespunzator Municipiului Bucuresti), atunci Localitatea reprezentantului fiscal al Vanzatorului (BT-66) trebuie sa fie codificata folosind lista de coduri SECTOR-RO. #If the Tax representative country code (BT-69) is RO and the Tax representative country subdivision (BT-68) is RO-B (corresponding to Bucharest Municipality), then the Tax representative city(BT-66) must be coded using the code list SECTOR-RO(SECTOR1, SECTOR2, SECTOR3, SECTOR4, SECTOR5, SECTOR6).

Business terms: BT-66, BT-68, BT-69
