The block is for adding child elements to an element.

Try this instead:

xml.InstdAmt({ "Ccy" => "EUR" }, invoice.sum_after_tax)

So if, for example the above element was a child of a root element you
might have something like:

xml.RootElement do
xml.InstdAmt({ "Ccy" => "EUR" }, invoice.sum_after_tax)
end

Notice that the block is used to add the child element, which has an
attribute arg (a hash) and a value arg (element contents).
