How reliable is this figure
Graded low — treat this as a starting default, not a fact. The rate for Equatorial Guinea has not been verified against an official source, and it may be out of date or may not apply to your kind of supply. Check it with your accountant or the Equatorial Guinea tax authority and set your own rate before you issue anything.
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 Equatorial Guinea 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 Equatorial Guinea: the format is accepted as entered, because a wrong rule that rejects a valid number is worse than no rule.
Numbering
Documents in Equatorial Guinea 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.

What tax rate do I charge in Equatorial Guinea?

Which document do I issue to a customer in Equatorial Guinea?

Does DocsOrigin cost anything in Equatorial Guinea?
No. DocsOrigin is free forever for businesses in Equatorial Guinea 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.
