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.

Selected national claims reviewed

Document vocabulary and checks

Sudan's VAT-invoice particulars, non-taxpayer presentation, six-year accounting-record rule, deregistration record rule and real-time Taxation Chamber electronic-invoice boundary are reviewed. Registration, identifier validation, system enrolment, rates, exemptions and transaction-specific treatment remain separate checks.

  • Required when applicable: Sudan's Taxation Chamber requires a sequentially numbered and dated tax invoice or manifest headed accordingly and showing the taxpayer's name, address, registration and tax-identification numbers; purchaser name, address, registration and tax-identification numbers; goods, services or work; tax category and amount; and invoice total. Sales to a non-taxpayer may show a tax-inclusive total under the published rule.Evidence SD_TAX_VAT_GUIDANCE · reviewed 2026-07-20 · review by 2027-01-20 · automation advisory only
  • Required when applicable: Keep manual or electronic accounting books and documents needed to explain entries for at least six years after the related base period. A deregistered VAT person separately keeps VAT books, records and invoice copies for two years after cancellation.Evidence SD_TAX_INCOME_GUIDANCE, SD_TAX_VAT_GUIDANCE · reviewed 2026-07-20 · review by 2027-01-20 · automation advisory only
  • Required when applicable: The Taxation Chamber describes its electronic-invoice system as creating invoices electronically and sending their information to the Chamber immediately for distribution into taxpayer records. A browser-local PDF performs no such transmission and is not a Chamber electronic invoice. Automated invoices remain subject to the published invoice conditions.Evidence SD_TAX_EINVOICE, SD_TAX_VAT_GUIDANCE · reviewed 2026-07-20 · review by 2027-01-20 · automation advisory only
