The Value Added Tax point date code (BT-8) is used if the Value Added Tax point date is not known when the invoice is issued. The use of Value Added Tax point date code /Invoice/InvoicePeriod/DescriptionCode and Value Added Tax point date /Invoice/TaxPointDate is mutually exclusive. In CIUS-FR, the the Tax Point Date (BT-8) is discouraged.

The Value Added Tax point date code (BT-8) is mandatory for service invoices where the taxable seller has opted for debits.
