BR-S-08: VAT category taxable amount (BT-116) must match the invoice's other totals

What this rule requires

VAT category taxable amount (BT-116) must match the invoice's other totals.

ExampleEN 16931 (UBL)

An invoice built like a valid one, except for this:

<cac:TaxSubtotal>
  <cbc:TaxableAmount currencyID="EUR">150.00</cbc:TaxableAmount>
  <cbc:TaxAmount currencyID="EUR">28.50</cbc:TaxAmount>
  <cac:TaxCategory>
    <cbc:ID>S</cbc:ID>
    <cbc:Percent>19.00</cbc:Percent>
    <cac:TaxScheme>
      <cbc:ID>VAT</cbc:ID>
    </cac:TaxScheme>
  </cac:TaxCategory>
</cac:TaxSubtotal>

The validator says: VAT category taxable amount (BT-116) is 150.00, but the other amounts on the invoice add up to 100.00.

How to fix it

Recalculate VAT category taxable amount so it matches the sum of the invoice's other amounts.
