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.

Recorded official or regional-official language tags: es, cak, quc, ixl, caa, quv, usp, xin.

  • Guidance: Guatemala's SAT FEL regime covers the electronic issue, transmission, certification and preservation of invoices, debit and credit notes, receipts and other authorised electronic tax documents (DTE). The authority publishes validation rules, schemas and technical documentation; this local preview does not create a certified DTE XML, use a certifier, or transmit to FEL.Evidence GT_SAT_FEL_REGIME, GT_SAT_FEL_TECHNICAL_DOCUMENTATION · reviewed 2026-07-18 · review by 2027-01-18 · automation advisory only
