Document level charge with reverse charge must have 0% VAT rate

This is the rejection, word for word: „[BR-AE-07] When a document level charge uses the reverse charge VAT category, the VAT rate must be 0%. Charges in reverse charge scenarios follow the same zero-rate rule.“

XPath: /Invoice/cac:AllowanceCharge[cbc:ChargeIndicator=true]/cac:TaxCategory/cbc:Percent (BT-103). When BT-102 (cbc:ID in TaxCategory) is "AE" for reverse charge, BT-103 must be 0. This applies to document level charges (BG-21) where ChargeIndicator is true.
