DM-VAT-RETURN— 15 boxes, filed month
- When it is dueA rule of the country, not a date. A pack that cannot state its rule states nothing.
- day 20 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 Dominican text read for this pack obliges a business to issue or accept an electronic invoice: the Value Added Tax Act, 2005, s. 29 asks for a tax invoice without naming a platform, a format or a Peppol profile. No Peppol authority for Dominica was looked for. `profile`, `party_scheme` and `vat_scheme` are null: there is no domestic profile to name
- Where the tax balance landsThe accounts a filed declaration settles to, by role.

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.
DM-VAT-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 2100. 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.
