BT-GST-RETURN— 14 boxes, filed month
- When it is dueA rule of the country, not a date. A pack that cannot state its rule states nothing.
- day 30 of the month after the period
- The file it is deposited asThe brick of packages/formats that writes it, where one exists.
- filed by hand on the administration’s portal
- Electronic invoicingThe profile the country imposes, the day it starts, and the text that imposes it.
- no profile — no obligation in law
No Bhutanese statute obliges a business to exchange a structured electronic invoice with another business in the sense Ekwo's vocabulary gives the word: there is no Peppol authority, no published profile and no scheme a party is addressed by, so `profile`, `party_scheme` and `vat_scheme` are null and `obligation` is `none`. Returns are filed online on RAMIS, which is a tax-administration portal and not an invoice exchange. If the Department publishes an e-invoicing rule, this field is where it goes.

Free, and operated
Where the open core stops.
The line is operational, not functional. Everything that keeps working on its own is open core; what needs credentials, a certificate or a channel somebody keeps running is the hosted edition.
BT-GST-RETURNdeclarationFree, for everComputed from the ledger, frozen box by box, filed by hand on the administration’s portal, and what it owes is carried to 2110. The deposit number and the administration’s own words come back into your own database.
OperatedTransmission: the credentials, the certificate and a channel somebody keeps running. The return stays yours.
