French Polynesia (English)
Invoice OCR software in French Polynesia, line by line, in XPF
Kura is pre-accounting software (AI invoice reading) published by Devlab in Tahiti, for businesses and accounting firms in French Polynesia. You drop an invoice, PDF, scan or photo, and Kura returns every line: description, quantity, unit price, French Polynesian VAT rate, amount in CFP francs (XPF) and a suggested account.
Kura applies the general French Polynesian VAT rates of 0%, 5%, 13% and 16%. The 1% and 9% rates stay conditional: they need a dated rule, an eligible context and supporting evidence, and the accountant validates before export. The French mainland 20% rate is never suggested.
Validated entries export to the firm's own software: Sage, GMO Cpta20, Odoo, FEC, CSV or Excel, depending on the plan and configuration.

French Polynesian VAT, handled natively
VAT in French Polynesia follows the local tax code administered by the DICP, not the French mainland regime. Kura proposes the rate read on each line and the accountant keeps the final say:
| 0% | Basic necessities (PPN) and exempt transactions |
|---|---|
| 5% | Reduced rate |
| 13% | Intermediate rate, services |
| 16% | Standard rate, sales of goods |
| 1% | Conditional territorial rate, with context and evidence |
| 9% | Conditional rate for an explicitly qualified real-estate transaction |

There is no 20% VAT rate in French Polynesia.
