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.

Tax labels: VAT. Business identifier labels: VAT Registration Number.
- Guidance: Namibia Revenue Agency VAT Act material requires a registered supplier, on request, to provide a tax invoice for a taxable supply. Schedule VI records a prominent tax-invoice label; supplier name, address and VAT registration number; recipient name and address; an individualised serial number and issue date; goods/services description and quantity or volume; tax charged; consideration; and consideration including tax. NamRA records ITAS as the portal for tax submissions. This local preview does not validate VAT registrations, determine whether an invoice is required for a particular cash supply or recipient-created invoice, connect to ITAS, submit a return, file/pay VAT, or determine VAT, exemption and transaction-specific treatment.Evidence NA_NAMRA_VAT_ACT_TAX_INVOICES, NA_NAMRA_VAT_ITAS_CONTEXT · reviewed 2026-07-18 · review by 2027-01-18 · automation advisory only
