What it means
In the Basic WL profiles of Factur-X and ZUGFeRD, this rule checks ram:TypeCode within ram:CategoryTradeTax for a whole-invoice charge (BG-21) against the profile's tax type code list. An empty checked value passes. FX-SCH-A-000480 separately requires one ram:TypeCode element but does not check its contents.
Why it matters
The tax type identifies the kind of tax described by the charge's tax details. It is not the code for the charge's VAT category.
How to fix it
Check the tax type written for the affected charge. For VAT, use VAT in ram:TypeCode inside the charge's ram:CategoryTradeTax. If your invoicing software writes an incorrect code that you cannot edit, ask its supplier to correct the export, then export and recheck.
