Understand legal identity, tax-inclusive and tax-exclusive prices, registration and local review.
Confirm the business that issues the record#
Use the actual legal seller, country, address and applicable tax-registration identifier. A trading name, profile label or browser country is not a substitute for legal identity.
Related business workflows must agree on the configured seller, country and currency. A change to the interface language does not change those facts.
Tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive prices?#
The applicable rate and registration status must be confirmed deliberately. Selecting a country does not automatically make a business tax-registered or choose a valid rate.
| Choice | When it fits | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Tax inclusive | The entered price already includes the applicable tax. | The calculation separates the tax component from that price; do not add the same tax again. |
| Tax exclusive | The entered price is before tax. | The calculation adds the configured applicable tax to reach the total. |
| Tax disabled | The supported workflow does not charge tax for the configured business. | Does not establish an exemption or override legal duties. Confirm the choice before issuing records. |
Country guidance and actual approval#
Country guidance, source exports, local checks, sandbox responses and live government acceptance are distinct states. A generic invoice or receipt is not proof of fiscal certification.
Existing strict statutory-issuance controls continue to apply. Where a required live integration is unavailable, complete the appropriate reviewed external workflow instead of bypassing the control.
Keep the active workspace, actual business requirements and current setup summary in view. A guide explains a choice; it does not make that choice for you.
