Overview

This section collects the general Iceland-specific topics in Business Central. They cover compliance-driven behavior: what can be deleted, how data is exported for auditors, how accounts are tied to tax authority codes, and how registration numbers appear on documents.

The pages are independent of each other. Start with the topic that matches your task. For tax reporting, see the IRS number mapping page. For auditor requests, use the audit export page, which describes the Audit Files Export extension. For document deletion, see the deletion page; the rules changed in version 24.0 for companies that have the new localization enabled. For sales and payment data, see the registration number page; the fields are available once activated, from version 24.0.

Key points

• Before v24.0, posted invoices and credit memos cannot be deleted in Iceland, per legislation.
• After v24.0 with the new localization enabled, deletion is allowed only for documents older than seven years at the start of the fiscal year.
• The Audit Files Export extension exports GL and VAT entries in formats such as SIE, FEC, and SAF-T.
• Audit export supports GL account mapping, data quality checks, parallel processing, and zip export.
• IRS numbers are created as Internal Revenue Service codes and mapped to general ledger posting accounts for tax authority compliance; a reverse prefix option is mentioned.
• When activated from version 24.0, Registration No. and Sender Reg. No. fields can be added to sales invoices, orders, credit memos, and payment export data.
