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.

Limited guidance reviewed

Document vocabulary and checks

Mauritania's 2023 ordinary and VAT invoice particulars, ten-year record rule, approved computerised-accounting boundary and separate DGI receipt-verification service are reviewed. Post-2023 consolidation, NIF validation, any later e-invoice mandate and transaction-specific VAT treatment remain open, so this pack stays partial.

Tax labels: TVA. Business identifier labels: NIF / Registre du commerce.

  • Guidance: The DGI's 2023 General Tax Code requires industrial, commercial and service businesses to invoice clients regardless of tax regime. Article L.21 lists supplier identity, NIF, address, contacts, commercial registration, bank references, signature and stamp; uninterrupted invoice number, date and transaction object; VAT-exclusive amount, rate and tax or exemption, and tax-inclusive total where applicable; plus customer identity, address and NIF for legal persons or traders.Evidence MR_DGI_CGI_2023 · reviewed 2026-07-20 · review by 2027-01-20 · automation advisory only
  • Guidance: Keep accounting documents and supporting records, including purchase and sales invoices, for at least ten years after the year in which the import, purchase, sale or service was entered in the accounts.Evidence MR_DGI_CGI_2023 · reviewed 2026-07-20 · review by 2027-01-20 · automation advisory only
  • Guidance: The reviewed code says computerised accounting uses media and software approved by the tax administration and meeting integrity and preservation requirements. DGI's online declaration/payment and official-receipt QR verification are separate services; this local PDF does not submit a return, pay tax or create a DGI quittance.Evidence MR_DGI_CGI_2023, MR_DGI_ASSISTANCE · reviewed 2026-07-20 · review by 2027-01-20 · automation advisory only
