Invoicing in Gambia
A business registered in Gambia charges VAT at a standard rate of 15%, invoices in GMD, and issues documents under names and numbering rules that are specific to Gambia. DocsOrigin carries all of that as registry data, so choosing Gambia once configures the tax, the document set, the numbering and the layout together.
Invoicing in Gambia is free forever with DocsOrigin: every document type, every export, no card and no trial.

How reliable is this figure
Graded medium: this rate is believed current but has not been re-checked against an official Gambia source recently. Verify it before issuing, and override it in your settings if it has moved.
Whatever the grade, your own setting always wins — a rate you enter overrides the registry everywhere, including on documents already dated in the past.

Tax identifier
On a document issued in Gambia the identifier is labelled VAT number. It is printed in the header of every tax document, isolated left-to-right so it reads correctly in any interface language.
No structural check is applied for Gambia: the format is accepted as entered, because a wrong rule that rejects a valid number is worse than no rule.
Numbering
Documents in Gambia are expected to run in an unbroken sequence. DocsOrigin allocates the number at the moment of issue — never earlier — so a draft that is abandoned does not burn a number and leave a gap you have to explain.
Prefix, padding and yearly reset are configurable per document type, and the series is kept separately for each type.
How Gambia writes dates and money
Set the country and these stop being settings you have to think about. The examples below are rendered by the same formatter the documents use.

GMD is written with 2 decimal places, and every amount is stored as a whole number of minor units. ⛔ Money never touches floating point.

Invoicing in Gambia — questions
What tax rate do I charge in Gambia?
The standard VAT rate recorded for Gambia is 15%. Reduced rates may apply to particular supplies, and your own setting always overrides ours.
Which document do I issue to a customer in Gambia?
The document set recognised in Gambia is listed above, under the names used locally. For a paid sale the usual document is Rechnung, and a mistake on an issued document is corrected with a credit note rather than an edit.
Does DocsOrigin cost anything in Gambia?
No. DocsOrigin is free forever for businesses in Gambia as everywhere else: no subscription, no card, no trial, no per-document fee and no export fee. Optional professional services are the only thing that is ever charged for, and they are quoted per project.
What if the rate for Gambia is wrong or changes?
Set your own rate in the business settings and it overrides the registry immediately, for new documents and for any date. Rates are applied by document date, so an old document keeps the rate that applied when it was issued.
