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-Jo
inery-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

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?

Many thanks in advance,

Jay
