Standard-rated document charge without a seller VAT identifier

What it means

A document-level charge carrying the standard VAT category requires the seller VAT identifier (BT-31). Charges such as freight or handling are themselves subject to VAT at the stated category, so the same identification requirement applies to them as to the invoice lines.

Can it be fixed automatically?

The fix is mechanical once you provide the value, but the value itself is yours: it cannot be derived from the invoice and will not be guessed.

How to fix it

Supply the seller VAT identifier, or correct the VAT category on the charge.
