What it means
The rule checks every ram element whose name ends in TradeTax and warns if it has a direct ram:AllowanceChargeBasisAmount child.
Why it matters
Discounts and charges have their own invoice fields. This rule excludes the additional basis amount from tax information; it does not tell you to change the discounts, charges or taxable amounts.
How to fix it
Delete ram:AllowanceChargeBasisAmount from each affected tax element. Keep your discounts and charges in their designated fields. If your invoicing software adds the element, ask its supplier to correct the CII export, then generate and check a new file.
Once the file is corrected, check it again for free: Validate an invoice against EN 16931
Or fix the invoice in a form and download the corrected file, for 1 credit: Fix a rejected e-invoice
