How reliable is this figure
Graded medium: this rate is believed current but has not been re-checked against an official Belize source recently. Verify it before issuing, and override it in your settings if it has moved.
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 Belize the identifier is labelled GST 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 Belize: the format is accepted as entered, because a wrong rule that rejects a valid number is worse than no rule.
Numbering
Documents in Belize 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.

Invoicing in Belize — questions
What tax rate do I charge in Belize?
The standard GST rate recorded for Belize is 12.5%. Reduced rates may apply to particular supplies, and your own setting always overrides ours.
Which document do I issue to a customer in Belize?
The document set recognised in Belize is listed above, under the names used locally. For a paid sale the usual document is Fatura fiscal, and a mistake on an issued document is corrected with a credit note rather than an edit.
Does DocsOrigin cost anything in Belize?
No. DocsOrigin is free forever for businesses in Belize 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 Belize 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 Belize document
Choose Belize once. The tax, the document names, the numbering, the date order and the currency format are configured together, and it costs nothing.
