How reliable is this figure

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 The rate for Sint Maarten has not been verified against an official source, and it may be out of date or may not apply to your kind of supply.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

Numbering

Sint Maarten 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.
