Estonia Prepares for B2B E-Invoicing by 2025
Estonia is gearing up for its national e-invoice project as the government implements amendments to the Accounting Act aimed at promoting business-to-business e-invoicing. These amendments will standardize and simplify invoicing requirements, facilitating wider adoption.
The goal of this legislation is to encourage the implementation of a single European standard for e-invoices and to support digital invoicing in both the public and private sectors. E-invoicing has been mandatory at the business-to-government (B2G) level since 2019.
Under the new regulations, companies can register on the tax authority's official website to indicate their preference for receiving invoices solely in electronic format. Suppliers will then be required to send invoices electronically. This measure will be effective starting July 1, 2025.
The two electronic formats permitted are:
- European format EN16931 UBL - BIS 3.0, CII
- Local format eXML 1.2
As of now, no additional information or specifications have been released.
