BR-Z-05 error

What this rule checks

Explanation

Any invoice line tagged with VAT category code "Z" (Zero rated) must have a VAT rate of exactly 0. This is the mirror image of BR-S-05: a zero-rated line can't carry a non-zero rate.

How to fix it

Set the VAT rate on the line to 0 for any line coded "Z". If the line is meant to carry a non-zero rate, its category code should be "S" (standard rated) instead of "Z".
