not_subject - Periodic declarationThe form the ledger is read into, the cadences it is filed on, and how many boxes it has.
- no periodic return declared
- When it is dueA rule of the country, not a date. A pack that cannot state its rule states nothing.
- no declaration to be due
- The file it is deposited asThe brick of packages/formats that writes it, where one exists.
- no declaration to deposit
- Electronic invoicingThe profile the country imposes, the day it starts, and the text that imposes it.
- no profile — no obligation in law
No Hong Kong statute obliges a business to issue or to accept an electronic invoice, and no Peppol Authority is listed for Hong Kong (OpenPeppol, list of Peppol Authorities, consulted 2026-09-21): unlike Singapore's InvoiceNow or Australia and New Zealand's PINT A-NZ, Hong Kong has not joined the network. `profile`, `party_scheme` and `vat_scheme` are therefore null and not merely unresearched: there is no domestic profile to name and no VAT identifier for a scheme to carry, since Hong Kong levies no value added tax and a party is addressed, where it is addressed at all, by its Business Registration Number under the Business Registration Ordinance (Cap. 310) — a number this pack's chart carries as an invoice mention and not as an e-invoicing party scheme, which is a different claim from the one a Peppol pack makes.

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.
