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.

The consolidated GCT Regulation 8 tax-invoice particulars, registered-recipient timing, duplicate handling and seven-year tax-record period are reviewed from Ministry of Justice sources. The current electronic/fiscal-invoice boundary, identifier validation, later amendment reconciliation and transaction-specific GCT treatment remain open, so the pack stays partial.
