BT-117

How should VAT in BT-117 be calculated on a summary invoice?

Short answer

BT-117 is the VAT amount for the relevant tax category in the tax breakdown. On a summary invoice, the calculation must comply with EN 16931, Peppol BIS and the VAT Act. If VAT calculated historically for separate supplies differs from a calculation based on the combined taxable amount, the document structure and rounding must be designed to pass business validation without distorting the tax.
