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

Moldova's fiscal-invoice particulars, Accounting Law storage form/integrity duties and SIA e-Factura boundary are reviewed. The controlling Archive Fund schedule that supplies the current numeric retention term has not been pinned in the official sources reviewed, so the pack remains partial; fiscal-code validation, mandate applicability, SIA operations and transaction-specific TVA treatment also remain case-specific or unimplemented.

Tax labels: TVA (VAT). Business identifier labels: Cod fiscal.

  • Required when applicable: Moldova's State Tax Service states that a fiscal invoice includes its current number; supplier and customer name, address and fiscal code; issue date and, when different, delivery date; supply type; and, for every supply type, quantity, unit price excluding TVA, TVA rate and amount, total due and total TVA.Evidence MD_SFS_FISCAL_INVOICE_FIELDS · reviewed 2026-07-18 · review by 2027-01-18 · automation advisory only
  • Required when applicable: Accounting Law 287 article 17 requires primary documents, registers, financial statements and related accounting documents to be stored on paper or electronically, protected from unauthorised changes and accessible when required. The retention terms are set separately by the state Archive Fund authority; the reviewed Ministry and SFS sources do not supply a single universal invoice-year period, so that schedule must be checked before disposal.Evidence MD_MF_ACCOUNTING_LAW_287 · reviewed 2026-07-20 · review by 2027-01-20 · automation advisory only
  • Guidance: SIA e-Factura is the authenticated State Tax Service system for creation, circulation, registration and validation of electronic fiscal invoices and is mandatory only for specified taxpayer categories. This local printable Factură fiscală does not create, sign, register, send, accept, reject or cancel an SIA e-Factura.Evidence MD_SFS_EFACTURA_GUIDE, MD_SFS_EFACTURA_RULE · reviewed 2026-07-18 · review by 2027-01-18 · automation advisory only
