2.3 Tax Category
Tax Category describes a subdivision of a Tax Scheme.
It may be the case that a tax has different rates for the same TaxCategory.ID. Since rates for categories
differ between countries it is recommended that the tax percentage is also given.
- TaxScheme.ID = ‘VAT’
- TaxScheme.Name = ‘Value added tax’
- TaxCategory.ID = ‘S’
- TaxCategory.Percent = ‘5’ or ‘12’
Each rate for the Tax Scheme / Category combination must be calculated in a separate Tax Subtotal.
Tax category ID should be based on UN/ECE code list 5305.
Based on this description you can clearly see that they really use the ID element (because there is no other element that can be used)
