Subject: Re: [ubl-dev] Question regarding how to record an invoicingparty's VAT Number
Hi Jay We had to revise the way this worked in UBL 2 as the problem was discovered in UBL 1.0. In UBL 2 it is the PartyTaxScheme /CompanyID 'The identifier assigned for tax purposes to a party by the taxation authority' but from what you quoted for the description it sounds like you are looking at UBL 1.0 so here you should ignore the description and do as you said: really it is just that the description is wrong and the example at http://docs.oasis-open.org/ubl/cd-UBL-1.0/xml/joinery/UBL-Invoice-1.0-Joinery-Example.xml shows what you want. But some tax regimes may have their own view of this, prefering to keep to the strict definition wording which is probably incorrect. We hoped that Tax XML TC would clarify this with an implementation guide to UBL 1.0 invoice but I haven't yet seen the like. My view is the definition is plain wrong and belongs to something that shouldn't be found in that ABIE. The error is corrected in UBL 2. The example is correct. It's awful that the error is in the definition which is meant to be normative so there is a problem there. TaxScheme/ID is another thing altogether (e.g. 'VAT') and shouldn't really be used unless a tax regime or equivalent specifies it. All the best Stephen Green >>> "Jay Cousins" <jay.cousins@csw.co.uk> 15/02/07 12:27:05 >>> Hi Tim et al., Can you please advise me where to record the VAT Number of an invoicing party? It seems clear that I can identify the tax as VAT by using PartyTaxScheme/TaxScheme/TaxTypeCode. But looking at the documentation it is not clear to me where I ought to put the actual registration number - as the value of PartyTaxScheme/CompanyID (which I think is wrong as the definition of this element is: "...It is NOT the same as the registration id of a company within a tax scheme", OR to put it into TaxScheme/ID? I think that PartyTaxScheme/TaxScheme/ID is correct. Am I right or wrong, please?
