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: rw, en, fr.

Document vocabulary and checks

Rwanda's TIN registration vocabulary, ten-year record and EBM-invoice retention, EBM/EIS sales-invoice obligation, and taxpayer-system integration/certification boundary are reviewed from current RRA sources. This local document is not EBM/EIS output and cannot install, certify, transmit, fiscalise or issue authority-recognized invoice identifiers. Taxpayer-specific exceptions, purchase-code use, sectors and transaction-level VAT treatment remain conditional current-rule checks.
