What it means
The rule checks ram:TypeCode under the line's ram:SpecifiedLineTradeSettlement/ram:ApplicableTradeTax against code list 26. An empty value passes. This is a code-list check, not an unconditional test that the value equals VAT.
Why it matters
The tax type identifies which tax the accompanying category, rate and other details describe.
How to fix it
Check the tax reported in the affected ram:ApplicableTradeTax and correct its ram:TypeCode. If it is VAT, use VAT rather than a local name such as MwSt, TVA or BTW. Do not change the intended tax type merely to clear the error. Export again and recheck.
