What the pack carries

Charts of accountsWhat a company installs, and who each chart is published for.

• default (default) — 147 accounts, for companies

TaxesHow many the pack carries, at which distinct rates, and which treatments it can express.

10 taxes at rates of 0, 17.5

domestic, exempt, export, foreign_services_received, import

Periodic declarationThe form the accounts are read into, the cadences it is filed on, and how many boxes it has.

• MW-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 25 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 Malawian text this pack could open 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`. What Malawi has is a clearance system run by the Malawi Revenue Authority: s. 25 of the Value Added Tax Act (2014 consolidation) requires an electronic fiscal device generated tax invoice or a prescribed tax invoice, and the Authority runs an Electronic Invoicing System (EIS) with a point-of-sale management portal that replaces electronic fiscal devices. The Authority's own notices on the EIS (start date, who must use it, penalties) could not be opened; trade commentary reports a transition ending on 31 January 2026 and mandatory use from 1 May 2026, which this pack does not rely on. That is real-time clearance with the tax administration and not a peer-to-peer exchange; the gap is recorded in docs/international.md and in this pack's README, and the socle is not patched to fit it.

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.
