Why these defaults?

The country code comes from ISO 3166. Unicode CLDR supplies presentation-oriented locale, currency, paper, date, language, calendar, numbering, and direction metadata. Defaults reduce setup time; they do not decide what a valid document must contain.

Document vocabulary and checks

Angola's AGT electronic-invoice mandate, certified real-time communication and selected NIF/tax-field context are reviewed. Full legal field schema, NIF validation, mandate applicability, certified-system and portal access, schema generation, transmission/acceptance, return/payment and transaction-specific IVA treatment remain separately researched or unimplemented scopes.

Tax labels: IVA (VAT). Business identifier labels: Número de Identificação Fiscal (NIF).

  • Guidance: Angola's General Tax Administration (AGT) says IVA is charged to customers through the issued invoice. Its electronic-invoicing portal states that from 1 January 2026 taxpayers in scope issue electronic invoices through the taxpayer portal or AGT-certified invoicing software authorised for real-time communication with AGT, with phased extension to general and simplified IVA regimes. The AGT technical documentation identifies the domestic buyer's NIF and tax codes. This local preview does not validate NIFs, determine e-invoice mandate applicability, use an AGT-certified system or taxpayer portal, create the authority schema, communicate in real time, obtain AGT acceptance, submit returns/payments, or determine IVA/exemption and transaction-specific treatment.Evidence AO_AGT_EINVOICING_PORTAL, AO_AGT_EINVOICING_TECHNICAL_DOCS, AO_AGT_IVA_INVOICE_CONTEXT · reviewed 2026-07-18 · review by 2027-01-18 · automation advisory only
