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

North Macedonia's EDB, VAT-invoice and e-Invoice initiative contexts are reviewed. Full invoice-field schema, EDB validation, VAT-registration/invoice-authorisation status, e-invoice issuance/submission, filing/payment and transaction-specific treatment remain separately researched or unimplemented scopes.

Evidence snapshot: 3 official sources · last reviewed 2026-07-18. This is scoped guidance, not a jurisdiction-wide compliance certification.

Tax labels: ДДВ (VAT). Business identifier labels: Единствен даночен број (ЕДБ).

  • Guidance: North Macedonia's Public Revenue Office (UJP) identifies taxpayers through the unique tax number (ЕДБ) and publishes VAT guidance on invoices. UJP says an unauthorized issuer of a VAT invoice becomes liable for that VAT and must pay it within five working days and file a return. Ministry of Finance and UJP material records the e-Invoice project as a government initiative, while the published VAT guidance records invoice-based input-tax context. This local preview does not validate EDB, determine VAT-registration or invoice-authorisation status, create/submit an authority e-invoice, file/pay VAT, or determine VAT/exemption and transaction-specific treatment.Evidence MK_UJP_EDB_TAXPAYER_SEARCH, MK_UJP_VAT_INVOICE_GUIDANCE, MK_MOF_EINVOICE_INITIATIVE · reviewed 2026-07-18 · review by 2027-01-18 · automation advisory only
