- Norway’s mandatory B2B e-invoicing starts on 1 January 2027 for businesses subject to Norwegian bookkeeping obligations; from 1 January 2030, in-scope businesses must also use digital accounting systems that can receive and automatically process e-invoices.
- The rules are already adopted, so 2027 is a compliance deadline, not a proposal.
- PDF invoices are not structured e-invoices; businesses should not rely on emailed PDFs for compliance after the mandate begins.
- EHF is Norway’s structured electronic business document format, while Peppol is the network/standards layer used to exchange such invoices; businesses will commonly need both in practice.
- ELMA is Norway’s recipient register used to identify whether a business can receive e-documents; foreign companies may also be in scope if they have Norwegian bookkeeping obligations.
