In a Document level charge (BG-21) where the Document level charge VAT category code (BT-102) is "IPSI", the Document level charge VAT rate (BT-103) must be 0 (zero) or greater than zero. The published test is (cbc:Percent) >= 0 with spaces around >=. The context writes normalize-space(cbc:ID)='M' and ChargeIndicator=true() with no space before =.
On a charge coded M, set the charge VAT rate (BT-103) to 0 or greater.
Illustration of the condition in the official statement. Not an example published by the source.
Fails the stated condition. A document-level charge uses category code M and its VAT rate is below 0.
