Invoice format and locale facts for Liechtenstein

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: de, gsw.

Liechtenstein's ordinary VAT-invoice particulars, 10-year baseline and 20-year immovable-property record rule, paperless-record condition and public-administration eInvoice boundary are reviewed from official sources. Transaction-specific VAT treatment, UID/MWST validation, special documents, public-buyer routing and compliant electronic transmission remain case-specific or unimplemented.

• Required when applicable: Liechtenstein VAT Act article 26 says an invoice must clearly identify the supplier, recipient and nature of the supply and normally state the supplier's trading name/place and VAT-register number; recipient's trading name/place; supply date or period when different from invoice date; nature, subject and extent of the supply; consideration; and applicable rate plus tax amount (or the rate alone when consideration includes tax). Recipient details may be omitted from automated till receipts below the government-set threshold.Evidence LI_VAT_LAW · reviewed 2026-07-19 · review by 2027-01-19 · automation advisory only
• Required when applicable: VAT Act articles 57 and 42 require business books, vouchers, business papers and other records to be kept until the absolute tax-assessment limitation expires: 10 years after the end of the tax period. Records connected with input-tax relief or own-use calculations for immovable property are kept for 20 years.Evidence LI_VAT_LAW · reviewed 2026-07-19 · review by 2027-01-19 · automation advisory only
• Guidance: The VAT Act allows paperless transmission and storage only under conditions set by government. The Office for Finance's eInvoice channel is a separate structured public-administration workflow; a PDF or this local preview is not that transmitted eInvoice and does not validate UID/MWST identifiers or send to a public buyer.Evidence LI_VAT_LAW, LI_LLV_EINVOICE · reviewed 2026-07-19 · review by 2027-01-19 · automation advisory only
