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

French official sources now expressly resolve French Guiana's no-local-TVA status and e-reporting position while national business guidance supports ordinary invoice fields and commercial retention. Local octroi de mer, sector/customs rules, non-tax commercial applicability and transaction exceptions still prevent a core claim.

Tax labels: TVA (not locally applicable). Business identifier labels: SIREN / SIRET.

  • Guidance: French national business guidance lists issue date, continuous unique number, sale/service date, seller and buyer identities, applicable VAT identifiers, item/service description, quantity and unit price, tax rate and amount, discounts, and totals. French tax guidance expressly treats French Guiana as an Article 73 overseas collectivity but states that TVA is not locally applicable there; do not add metropolitan or Antilles TVA by default.Evidence GF_FR_INVOICE_CURRENT, GF_DGFIP_DOM_TVA_SCOPE · reviewed 2026-07-20 · review by 2027-01-20 · automation advisory only
  • Guidance: French official business guidance gives a ten-year commercial-accounting hold for invoices. A fiscal, sector, customs, grant or dispute rule may require a different or longer hold; this pack does not treat the commercial period as a complete French Guiana retention map.Evidence GF_FR_COMMERCIAL_RETENTION · reviewed 2026-07-20 · review by 2027-01-20 · automation advisory only
  • Guidance: DGFIP's DROM/COM reform matrix expressly places businesses established in French Guiana outside the domestic e-invoice flow in principle and routes covered transactions to e-reporting, subject to the matrix's transaction and exception rules. This preview neither transmits e-reporting data nor creates a regulated French electronic invoice.Evidence GF_DGFIP_DOM_COM_EINVOICE_MATRIX · reviewed 2026-07-20 · review by 2027-01-20 · automation advisory only
