Italian VAT Code (Partita Iva) must be stated in the correct format

Why it fails

An Italian Partita IVA is malformed.

How to fix it

Eleven digits with a valid Luhn-style check digit. Do not include the IT prefix here — that belongs on the VAT identifier BT-31.

What the validator checks

CII — context ram:URIID[@schemeID = '0211'] | ram:ID[@schemeID = '0211'] | ram:GlobalID[@schemeID = '0211']

u:checkPIVAseIT(normalize-space())

UBL — context cbc:EndpointID[@schemeID = '0211'] | cac:PartyIdentification/cbc:ID[@schemeID = '0211'] | cbc:CompanyID[@schemeID = '0211']

u:checkPIVAseIT(normalize-space())
