How reliable is this figure

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 The rate for Marshall Islands has not been verified against an official source, and it may be out of date or may not apply to your kind of supply.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

Numbering

Prefix, padding and yearly reset are configurable per document type, and the series is kept separately for each type.
