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.

Recorded official or regional-official language tags: en, fil, ceb, ilo, hil, war, pag, mdh, tsg.

  • Required when applicable: Philippine VAT-registered persons must issue a duly registered VAT Invoice for each covered sale, barter, exchange, or lease. The Bureau of Internal Revenue's invoice rules require VAT status and TIN, the amount payable with VAT treatment, and separately identifiable VAT; the current regulation distinguishes VAT and non-VAT invoice requirements.Evidence PH_BIR_RR_7_2024, PH_BIR_RMC_77_2024 · reviewed 2026-07-18 · review by 2027-01-18 · automation advisory only
