Missing Reduced VAT rate category for Belgian 6% in UBL/Peppol

    Hello,

    I’m currently working with the UBL/Peppol export (EN16931) for a Belgian WooCommerce shop.
    We’re using two VAT rates: 21% (standard) and 6% (reduced – food products).

    the tax category selector still only offers:

    • Standard rate
    • Zero rated goods
    • Exempt / Out of scope
    • Reverse charge
    • (many EU exemption codes)

    …but no “Reduced rate” option.

    In Belgium (either Nederlands I think), the 6% VAT rate must be mapped to the Peppol category “Reduced” (BT-118).
    When the 6% rate is mapped as “Standard”, the UBL fails;

    Could you please add “Reduced rate” to the VAT Category dropdown ?

    Thanks a lot for your work and support!

    Best regards,

    Ludovic

    Hi @pastekbe

    Thanks for your message. Our UBL Peppol export follows the EN 16931 standard, which does not define a “Reduced rate” category and only includes Standard (S), Zero rated (Z), Exempt (E), Reverse charge (AE), and similar.

    For the Belgian 6 percent VAT you should continue using Standard (S) with the correct percentage. If you prefer, you can add a “Reduced rate” option manually with the snippet below.

    add_filter( 'wpo_ips_edi_en16931_5305', function( $extra ) {
    	$extra['AA'] = 'Reduced';
    	return $extra;
    } );

    If you never used code snippets before, please check this documentation page.
