Norway proposes mandatory B2B eInvoicing for 2027

On May 5, 2026, the Norwegian government proposed legislation that would introduce mandatory B2B eInvoicing for all businesses with bookkeeping obligations in Norway, effective from 1 January 2027.

This proposal aims to align Norway’s requirements with the European Union (EU)’s VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) reforms, where eInvoicing will become the default for all intra-community B2B transactions from July 2030.

Below, we break down the proposed rules and obligations for businesses operating in Norway, and the next steps your organisation can take today to prepare.

The current proposal outlines a phased mandate starting from 1 January 2027, where all businesses with Norwegian bookkeeping obligations must be able to send structured eInvoices to other bookkeeping-liable businesses in the region.

To comply, businesses must:

Further requirements are expected to be confirmed at a later date.

Currently, Norwegian businesses are required to send eInvoices to government bodies as part of the B2G eInvoicing mandate. If your organisation already transacts with public sector entities, you’ll likely already be using eInvoicing; now’s the time to consider expanding your eInvoicing transactions into the private sector as more businesses come online.

Norway’s proposal aligns with the broader trend of European Union countries embracing Peppol eInvoicing as the future standard for invoicing and document exchange. Worldwide, governments are modernising their tax systems to improve transparency, reduce fraud and automate tax reporting – with B2B eInvoicing mandates a common first step.

This is part of a push ahead of the July 2030 deadline for the EU’s VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) initiative, which is focused on modernising VAT reporting and introducing cross-border digital invoicing requirements.

Alongside other EU countries like Slovakia, this move shows that eInvoicing is becoming the standard for faster and more secure invoicing across Europe – and soon, globally.

Whether your organisation is based in Norway or trading in the region, adopting eInvoicing sooner rather than later will be essential.
