What it means
This rule checks that the tax scheme in the line VAT information (BG-30) has no jurisdiction region address (cac:JurisdictionRegionAddress), an address for the region or area where the tax applies. The seller address (BG-5), buyer address (BG-8) and delivery address (BG-15) are outside this check. It looks at every line of the invoice or credit note.
Why it matters
EN 16931 does not use a jurisdiction region address in the tax scheme on a line.
How to fix it
Delete cac:JurisdictionRegionAddress from cac:TaxScheme under cac:Item/cac:ClassifiedTaxCategory on every affected invoice line or credit note line. Do not remove the separate seller, buyer or delivery address. Check the corrected file again.
