How reliable is this figure

Graded low — treat this as a starting default, not a fact. The rate for Guinea has not been verified against an official source, and it may be out of date or may not apply to your kind of supply.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 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 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 Guinea: the format is accepted as entered, because a wrong rule that rejects a valid number is worse than no rule.

Numbering

Documents in 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.
