All public entities must receive and process invoices since 2017. Since 2019 all public administration suppliers with an entity in Estonia must also issue electronic invoices. 

In the B2B sphere, 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.
