No general indirect tax
Invoicing in Guernsey
Guernsey has no general indirect tax on domestic sales, so an invoice issued there carries no tax line at all. Documents are issued in GBP. 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 Guernsey is free forever with DocsOrigin: every document type, every export, no card and no trial.

How reliable is this figure
Graded high: this rate has been checked against a tax-authority or official source. It is still your responsibility to confirm it before you rely on it.
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 Guernsey 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 Guernsey: the format is accepted as entered, because a wrong rule that rejects a valid number is worse than no rule.
Numbering
Documents in Guernsey 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.

A worked example in Guernsey
Three lines, priced identically everywhere, run through the real tax engine with the Guernsey registry entry applied. This is what the document looks like there.

Invoicing in Guernsey — questions
What tax rate do I charge in Guernsey?
Guernsey has no general indirect tax on domestic sales, so the document carries no tax line. If you sell into a country that does have one, the treatment is decided by where the customer is, not by where you are.
Which document do I issue to a customer in Guernsey?
The document set recognised in Guernsey is listed above, under the names used locally. For a paid sale the usual document is Faktura, and a mistake on an issued document is corrected with a credit note rather than an edit.
Does DocsOrigin cost anything in Guernsey?
No. DocsOrigin is free forever for businesses in Guernsey 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 Guernsey 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 GBP
The currency is shared, but the tax, the document names and the numbering rules are not. Each of these has its own entry.
Issue your first Guernsey document
Choose Guernsey once. The tax, the document names, the numbering, the date order and the currency format are configured together, and it costs nothing.
