Frequently asked questions
01Is e-invoicing mandatory in Sweden?
Only towards the public sector. Invoices arising from public procurements started on or after 1 April 2019 must be structured e-invoices conforming to the European standard. There is no domestic B2B or B2C mandate - private-sector e-invoicing is voluntary and normally requires the receiver's consent.
02What format do Swedish e-invoices use?
Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, the recommended implementation of EN 16931. Sweden uses the specification as-is with no national CIUS. PDF and scanned invoices do not count as e-invoices under the Swedish law.
03Which Peppol identifier do Swedish companies use?
The Swedish organisation number under scheme 0007 is the recommended first choice, with GLN (0088) as an accepted fallback. Swedish authority guidance discourages using VAT numbers or bank-account numbers as Peppol IDs.
04Does Sweden report invoices to the tax authority?
No. Sweden has no central clearance platform and no VAT real-time reporting system. The forward frame is EU ViDA, which adds cross-border digital reporting from July 2030 - no Swedish domestic mandate has been announced.
