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

Mali's current official code establishes liability when VAT is mentioned on an invoice, and DGI's e-Impôt VAT-annex and declaration/payment boundary is reviewed. Complete invoice particulars, general retention duration, NIF validation, any electronic or fiscal-invoice mandate and transaction-specific VAT treatment remain open, so this pack stays partial.

Tax labels: TVA. Business identifier labels: NIF.

  • Guidance: Mali's current DGI online General Tax Code states that a person who mentions VAT on an invoice or equivalent document is liable for that VAT. This is not a complete list of tax-invoice particulars; confirm applicability and the current article set before issuing a VAT document.Evidence ML_DGI_CURRENT_CGI · reviewed 2026-07-20 · review by 2027-01-20 · automation advisory only
  • Guidance: DGI requires the VAT Annex 1.1 declaration through the e-Impôt service instead of paper and publishes monthly and annual tax declaration/payment guidance. A Formnivo document does not submit that annex, declare VAT or make a tax payment.Evidence ML_DGI_VAT_ANNEX, ML_DGI_DECLARATIONS · reviewed 2026-07-20 · review by 2027-01-20 · automation advisory only
  • Guidance: A current official source establishing the generally applicable invoice-retention duration was not captured in this pass. Confirm the applicable current tax, accounting and commercial record period before relying on local storage.Evidence ML_DGI_CURRENT_CGI · reviewed 2026-07-20 · review by 2027-01-20 · automation advisory only
