Invoicing in Saint Helena
Saint Helena has no general indirect tax on domestic sales, so an invoice issued there carries no tax line at all. Documents are issued in SHP. DocsOrigin drops the tax column instead of printing a zero — a tax line that is always zero teaches your client to ignore the one that is not.
Invoicing in Saint Helena 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 The rate for Saint Helena has not been verified against an official source, and it may be out of date or may not apply to your kind of supply.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 Saint Helena 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.

No structural check is applied for Saint Helena: the format is accepted as entered, because a wrong rule that rejects a valid number is worse than no rule.
Numbering
Documents in Saint Helena 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.
