Summary
- The article explains how Norway is accelerating the digitalization of its tax system by proposing mandatory B2B electronic invoicing from 1 January 2027, replacing the previously expected 2028 timeline. The initiative forms part of a broader strategy to modernize accounting practices, improve tax compliance, and align more closely with European digital invoicing standards.
- Alongside mandatory e-invoicing, the article outlines Norway’s existing VAT reporting obligations and SAF-T (Standard Audit File for Tax) requirements. Businesses must continue submitting VAT returns electronically and maintain structured accounting data that can be provided to the tax authorities upon request, increasing the importance of compliant digital accounting systems.
- The proposed reforms will require businesses operating in Norway to review their invoicing processes, ensure compatibility with the EHF/Peppol framework, and prepare for greater automation of tax reporting. Companies that adapt early will be better positioned to meet future compliance obligations while improving operational efficiency.
