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
Cabo Verde's official e-Fatura signature, real-time authorisation, contingency, archive and SAF-T CV schema boundaries are reviewed. General ordinary-invoice applicability and particulars, current retention duration, NIF validation, rollout exceptions and transaction-specific IVA treatment remain open, so this pack stays partial.

Tax labels: IVA. Business identifier labels: NIF.
- Guidance: Cabo Verde's official e-Fatura service treats the electronic invoice and invoice-receipt as digitally issued and archived records whose legal validity comes from the issuer's digital signature and real-time tax-authority authorisation, with a documented contingency mode. This local PDF is not digitally signed or authorised by DNRE and does not connect to e-Fatura.Evidence CV_DNRE_EFATURA, CV_DNRE_TECHNICAL_MANUAL · reviewed 2026-07-19 · review by 2027-01-19 · automation advisory only
- Guidance: The official SAF-T CV and e-Fatura technical material includes tax code, percentage, tax amount and exemption-reason data. Use the current DNRE schema for regulated exchange; the local preview does not create, validate or submit SAF-T CV data.Evidence CV_DNRE_SAFT_ORDER, CV_DNRE_XSD · reviewed 2026-07-19 · review by 2027-01-19 · automation advisory only
- Guidance: The reviewed official material establishes electronic archiving but does not substantiate a current general retention duration. Confirm the applicable tax and commercial record period before relying on local storage.Evidence CV_DNRE_EFATURA, CV_DNRE_EINVOICE_ORDER · reviewed 2026-07-19 · review by 2027-01-19 · automation advisory only
