Invoicing in Timor-Leste
A business registered in Timor-Leste charges Sales tax at 2.5% and invoices in USD. Unlike a value-added tax there is no input-credit chain, so the tax sits on the sale itself and the document has to state it plainly. DocsOrigin takes the rate, the document names and the numbering conventions for Timor-Leste from the registry.
Invoicing in Timor-Leste is free forever with DocsOrigin: every document type, every export, no card and no trial.

How reliable is this figure
Graded low — treat this as a starting default, not a fact. The rate for Timor-Leste has not been verified against an official source, and it may be out of date or may not apply to your kind of supply.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 Timor-Leste 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 Timor-Leste the identifier is labelled Tax ID. 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 Timor-Leste: the format is accepted as entered, because a wrong rule that rejects a valid number is worse than no rule.
Numbering
Timor-Leste does not impose a strict national sequence, but DocsOrigin still numbers sequentially per document type and per year, because a gap is the first thing anyone auditing you will ask about.
Prefix, padding and yearly reset are configurable per document type, and the series is kept separately for each type.

Invoicing in Timor-Leste — questions
What tax rate do I charge in Timor-Leste?
The standard Sales tax rate recorded for Timor-Leste is 2.5% — but that figure is graded low confidence and needs verifying before you rely on it. Reduced rates may apply to particular supplies, and your own setting always overrides ours.
Which document do I issue to a customer in Timor-Leste?
The document set recognised in Timor-Leste is listed above, under the names used locally. For a paid sale the usual document is Factura fiscal, and a mistake on an issued document is corrected with a credit note rather than an edit.
Does DocsOrigin cost anything in Timor-Leste?
No. DocsOrigin is free forever for businesses in Timor-Leste 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 Timor-Leste 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.
Also billing in USD
The currency is shared, but the tax, the document names and the numbering rules are not. Each of these has its own entry.
