 `InvoiceOrder.vatExempt`/`CorrectionInvoiceOrder.vatExempt` (optional, default falsy) — set by the consuming app after its own checkout confirms (live VIES lookup) that a sale qualifies as an innergemeinschaftliche Lieferung. This package never decides the exemption itself — by the time an order reaches these renderers, every item's `unitPrice` is already de-grossed (net) and `taxRatePercent` already `0`; `vatExempt` only controls **display**:

+- Visual PDF (`invoicePdf.tsx`/`correctionInvoicePdf.tsx`): the "enthält X% MwSt." annotation under Gesamt becomes "Steuerfreie innergemeinschaftliche Lieferung (§4 Nr. 1b UStG)" instead — rendered as its own full-width row below the summary card (same treatment as the Vorkasse/unpaid notice), not squeezed into the card's narrow right-aligned column. Moved out 2026-07-25, at the user's explicit request.
 - E-invoice XML (`buildEInvoiceData.ts`): VAT category `K` + VATEX-EU-IC exemption reason — see "E-invoicing" above for exactly where those fields are (and aren't) allowed to live.
 
 See the frontend repo's own README ("VAT exemption" section) for the actual VIES lookup, de-grossing math, and checkout UI this feeds from, and the Payload backend's README ("B2B checkout & VAT exemption") for the persisted `Orders.vatExempt`/`vatIdValidatedAt` fields and audit-trail reasoning.
