Japan PEP: Tax Category

In Japan, you must include certain tax category information.

Elements

Use the TaxCategory element to model this information:

Element	Description
`TaxCategory/ID`	Use a value from the UNCL5305 list.
`TaxCategory/TaxScheme/ID`	Use `VAT`.

Restrictions

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

The TaxCategory/ID must use values from the UNCL5305 list.
The TaxCategory/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.
