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.

- Guidance: Chad's 2025 General Tax Code requires VAT taxpayers to issue invoices for taxable operations with other taxpayers. The listed particulars are supplier name/address/NIF, buyer NIF where VAT-registered, invoice date and serial number, buyer name/address, goods or service description/quantity, ex-tax amount, VAT rate/amount and total tax-inclusive amount. FEN guidance additionally describes standardised electronic invoices, taxpayer electronic-invoice systems and sale-by-sale issuance. This local preview does not validate NIF or registration, determine FEN applicability, generate or transmit a FEN invoice, or decide VAT, exemption, withholding, filing or transaction-specific treatment.Evidence TD_MFB_GENERAL_TAX_CODE_2025, TD_MFB_FEN_GENERAL_OBLIGATIONS · reviewed 2026-07-18 · review by 2027-01-18 · automation advisory only
