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

Djibouti's VAT-invoice particulars and ten-year record rule are evidenced in official historical code editions, and the current official code/DGI surfaces are identified. Current consolidated article text, NIF validation, electronic or fiscal-invoice mandate scope and transaction-specific VAT treatment remain open, so this pack stays partial.

Evidence snapshot: 4 official sources · last reviewed 2026-07-20. This is scoped guidance, not a jurisdiction-wide compliance certification.

Tax labels: TVA. Business identifier labels: NIF.

  • Guidance: The Ministry of Budget's published 2017 General Tax Code says an in-scope VAT invoice shows the supplier's exact name, address and NIF; the customer's NIF, name and address; date and serial number; description and quantity; amount excluding tax; VAT rate and amount; and total including tax. Margin-scheme invoices have a different tax-display rule. Confirm the currently consolidated text before relying on this older official edition.Evidence DJ_BUDGET_CGI_2017, DJ_NUMERIQUE_CODES · reviewed 2026-07-20 · review by 2027-01-20 · automation advisory only
  • Guidance: The Ministry's published 2015 General Tax Code states that accounting documents and supporting evidence, especially purchase and sales invoices, are retained for ten years. The reviewed current digital-code index does not expose the consolidated article text, so confirm that duration against the current code.Evidence DJ_BUDGET_CGI_2015, DJ_NUMERIQUE_CODES · reviewed 2026-07-20 · review by 2027-01-20 · automation advisory only
  • Guidance: The reviewed official sources do not establish a current universal authority-cleared electronic-invoice mandate or fiscal-device workflow. This browser-local PDF is therefore presented only as a printable document, not as a DGI-issued, transmitted or validated fiscal invoice.Evidence DJ_BUDGET_DGI, DJ_NUMERIQUE_CODES · reviewed 2026-07-20 · review by 2027-01-20 · automation advisory only
