Japan PEP: Line-Level Tax Information

In Japan, you must specify certain tax information for each invoice line.

Use the ClassifiedTaxCategory sub-element of the Item element to model this information in each InvoiceLine element.

Elements

Each InvoiceLine element must contain the following sub-elements:

Element	Description
`Invoice/InvoiceLine/Item/ClassifiedTaxCategory/ID`	Use a value from the UNCL5305 list.
`Invoice/InvoiceLine/Item/ClassifiedTaxCategory/Percent`	Specify the percentage tax rate.
`Invoice/InvoiceLine/Item/ClassifiedTaxCategory/TaxSchemeID`	Specify `VAT`.

Restrictions

The following restrictions apply to Standard, Self-Billed, and non-Tax Japanese Documents.

The ClassifiedTaxCategory/ID must use values from the UNCL5305 list.
The ClassifiedTaxCategory/TaxScheme/ID sub-element of the TaxScheme element must use VAT. For Vertex e-Invoicing in Japan, VAT stands for Consumption Tax. This value is derived from the UNECE 5153 list.
