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

Evidence snapshot: 2 official sources · last reviewed 2026-07-18. This is scoped guidance, not a jurisdiction-wide compliance certification.
Tax labels: VAT. Business identifier labels: Unique Identification Number (NIU).
- Guidance: Republic of Congo official tax material records a continuous invoice number; issuer name, precise address, business name and NIU; client name, address and NIU; applicable rate including any additional cents, ex-tax price and corresponding tax. Ministry materials also record a Certified Electronic Invoicing System (SFEC) with web-portal, API and certified-terminal paths. This local preview does not validate NIU, determine taxpayer status or SFEC applicability, create a certified invoice, connect to an SFEC API/portal/terminal, transmit data, file/pay tax, or determine VAT, exemptions or transaction-specific treatment.Evidence CG_MFBPP_VAT_INVOICE_PARTICULARS, CG_MFBPP_SFEC_OPERATIONAL · reviewed 2026-07-18 · review by 2027-01-18 · automation advisory only
