BR-AF and BR-AG rules: seller identifiers for IGIC and IPSI

Six rules, one requirement. Both taxes require the same seller identifiers, and both state the requirement three times, once for each place the category code can appear: an Invoice line (BG-25), a Document level allowance (BG-20) and a Document level charge (BG-21). IGIC covers the Canary Islands and IPSI covers Ceuta and Melilla. Unlike most VAT categories, neither family asks for a buyer identifier.
