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.

Russia's scoped national VAT invoice form/effective-date context, four-year electronic retention and legally significant EDI/operator boundary are reviewed. This app does not create a regulated счёт-фактура, sign it, exchange it through an operator or register it in VAT books.
Evidence snapshot: 3 official sources · last reviewed 2026-07-19. This is scoped guidance, not a jurisdiction-wide compliance certification.
Tax labels: НДС. Business identifier labels: ИНН / КПП.
- Required when applicable: Russian VAT taxpayers use the regulated счёт-фактура and the government-approved form under Tax Code article 169. The authority identifies a changed form from 1 April 2026 and an advance-invoice reference field. Use the official current form for regulated VAT output; this generic invoice is not that artifact.Evidence RU_FNS_2026_FORM, RU_FNS_FORMATS · reviewed 2026-07-19 · review by 2027-01-19 · automation advisory only
- Required when applicable: Electronic VAT invoices are retained electronically for four years.Evidence RU_FNS_EINVOICE · reviewed 2026-07-19 · review by 2027-01-19 · automation advisory only
- Guidance: An electronic счёт-фактура is a legally significant original, signed by an authorised person, issued within five days, exchanged through an approved EDI operator and registered in VAT journals/books. Formnivo performs none of those actions.Evidence RU_FNS_EINVOICE, RU_FNS_FORMATS · reviewed 2026-07-19 · review by 2027-01-19 · automation advisory only
