Who Must Use E-Invoicing?

If you send invoices to public sector entities in Norway, you must use e-invoicing.

From 1 July 2012, suppliers to central government agencies were required to send electronic invoices.
From 2 April 2019, this requirement extended to all public sector bodies, including municipalities and regional authorities.
Norway has also proposed new legislation that would require businesses with bookkeeping obligations to issue e-invoices from 1 January 2027.
From 1 January 2030, digital bookkeeping and e-invoice reception requirements are expected to apply as well.
E-invoices must follow the EHF format (based on PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0).
For B2B, e-invoicing is currently voluntary, but this is under review by the Norwegian government.

PEPPOL Network: The Backbone of Norwegian E-Invoicing 

Norway uses the PEPPOL network (Pan-European Public Procurement Online) to transmit e-invoices. 

Norway follows the 4-corner model: You (the sender) → your access point → recipient’s access point → recipient. 
You need a registered PEPPOL Access Point provider to send or receive invoices. 
Invoices must use the EHF format (Electronic Commerce Format) which is Norway’s localized version of PEPPOL BIS 3.0. 
Recipient information is stored in the national ELMA directory, listing over 200,000 registered entities. 
Over 95% of all e-invoices in Norway flow through the PEPPOL network.
