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 Senegal the identifier is labelled VAT 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 Senegal: the format is accepted as entered, because a wrong rule that rejects a valid number is worse than no rule.

Numbering

Documents in Senegal 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.

How Senegal writes dates and money

Set the country and these stop being settings you have to think about. The examples below are rendered by the same formatter the documents use.

Minor units: 0

⁨XOF⁩ is written with ⁨0⁩ decimal places, and every amount is stored as a whole number of minor units. ⛔ Money never touches floating point.

A worked example in Senegal

Invoicing in Senegal — questions

What tax rate do I charge in Senegal?

The standard VAT rate recorded for Senegal is ⁨18%⁩. Reduced rates may apply to particular supplies, and your own setting always overrides ours.

Which document do I issue to a customer in Senegal?

The document set recognised in Senegal is listed above, under the names used locally. For a paid sale the usual document is Poreska faktura, and a mistake on an issued document is corrected with a credit note rather than an edit.

Does DocsOrigin cost anything in Senegal?

No. DocsOrigin is free forever for businesses in Senegal 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 Senegal 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 ⁨XOF⁩

The currency is shared, but the tax, the document names and the numbering rules are not. Each of these has its own entry.
