Australia (Peppol): Document Level Taxes

You can specify Taxes at the Document level in your Australia documents.

In the case of Australian invoices, the code in TaxSubtotal/TaxCategory/ID must belong to the Aligned Tax Category codes list:

Code	Description
E	Exempt from tax
G	Free export item, tax not charged
O	Outside scope of tax
S	Standard rate
Z	Zero rated goods

The Tax Scheme ID in element TaxSubtotal/TaxCategory/TaxScheme/ID must contain the value GST.

Regarding the Tax Rate:

If the Tax Category code in :TaxSubtotal/TaxCategory/ID is E (exempt from tax), then the Tax Rate in TaxCategory/Percent must be 0.
If the Tax Category code in TaxSubtotal/TaxCategory/ID is G (export), then the Tax Rate in TaxCategory/Percent must be 0.
If the Tax Category code in :TaxSubtotal/TaxCategory/ID is S (standard rate), then the Tax Rate in TaxCategory/Percent must be greater than 0.
If the Tax Category code in TaxSubtotal/TaxCategory/ID is Z (zero rated), then the Tax Rate in TaxCategory/Percent must be 0.
If the Tax Category code in TaxSubtotal/TaxCategory/ID is O (not subject to tax), then the TaxCategory/Percent must not be sent.
