Invoicing in Eritrea
A business registered in Eritrea charges Sales tax at 5% and invoices in ERN. 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 Eritrea from the registry.
Invoicing in Eritrea 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 The rate for Eritrea has not been verified against an official source, and it may be out of date or may not apply to your kind of supply.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 Eritrea 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 Eritrea 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 Eritrea: the format is accepted as entered, because a wrong rule that rejects a valid number is worse than no rule.
Numbering
Eritrea 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.
How Eritrea writes dates and money

ERN is written with 2 decimal places, and every amount is stored as a whole number of minor units. ⛔ Money never touches floating point.
A worked example in Eritrea
Three lines, priced identically everywhere, run through the real tax engine with the Eritrea registry entry applied. This is what the document looks like there.

Invoicing in Eritrea — questions
What tax rate do I charge in Eritrea?
The standard Sales tax rate recorded for Eritrea is 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 Eritrea?
The document set recognised in Eritrea is listed above, under the names used locally. For a paid sale the usual document is Belastingfactuur, and a mistake on an issued document is corrected with a credit note rather than an edit.
Does DocsOrigin cost anything in Eritrea?
No. DocsOrigin is free forever for businesses in Eritrea 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 Eritrea 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.
Issue your first Eritrea document
Choose Eritrea once. The tax, the document names, the numbering, the date order and the currency format are configured together, and it costs nothing.
