Get ready for 1 January 2027. Norwegian businesses with bookkeeping obligations must then issue B2B invoices as e-invoices. Digital bookkeeping in an electronic accounting system follows on 1 January 2030.

Get ready for mandatory e-invoicing in Norway

Norway already uses EHF (Elektronisk Handelsformat) over the Peppol network for invoicing the public sector. Amendments to the Bookkeeping Act adopted in June 2026 extend e-invoicing to B2B transactions from 1 January 2027 and require electronic accounting systems from 1 January 2030. Qvalia sends, receives and validates EHF invoices through the web app, APIs and connectors.

What is EHF?

EHF (Elektronisk Handelsformat) is the Norwegian format for structured business documents on the Peppol network. EHF Billing 3.0 is aligned with Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 and EN 16931, and EHF also covers orders, catalogs and other procurement documents. Read more in What is Elektronisk Handelsformat (EHF)?

When does e-invoicing become mandatory in Norway?

EHF over Peppol has been required for invoicing the Norwegian public sector since 2019. For B2B, the Storting adopted amendments to the Bookkeeping Act in June 2026 (Prop. 44 L (2025–2026)). From 1 January 2027, invoices between businesses with bookkeeping obligations must be issued as e-invoices. From 1 January 2030, bookkeeping must be done in an electronic accounting system that can receive e-invoices.

Format, exemptions and transitional rules are set in regulations, so check the current rules before you plan your rollout.

Read our quick guide for Norwegian e-invoicing compliance.

Which format will be required for B2B e-invoicing?

The law requires a structured electronic format suitable for automated processing and leaves the technical format to regulation. The Norwegian Tax Administration proposed EHF in its consultation. Using EHF or Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 over Peppol aligns you with the existing public-sector requirement and the proposed B2B format.

How does Peppol work in Norway?

Norway has used Peppol since the network started, and DFØ (the Norwegian Agency for Public and Financial Management) is the Norwegian Peppol Authority. Businesses are identified by their organization number, with the Peppol scheme 0192. Your Access Point registers you as a receiver so that trading partners can find and reach you.

Is Qvalia accredited for Norway?

Yes. Qvalia AB is an OpenPeppol member and certified Peppol Access Point and Service Metadata Publisher under the Swedish Peppol Authority. Norway is covered by this accreditation. See Peppol and e-invoicing compliance for the current country list.

Kan jeg gå i gang, før mandatet træder i kraft?

Yes. Early preparation gives your team time to validate invoice data, test integrations, onboard trading partners and resolve process issues before mandatory implementation.

Har jeg brug for API-adgang?

API access is recommended if invoices, orders or related documents should flow automatically between your ERP, accounting system, billing platform or procurement software. Smaller teams can start with the web app and add integration later.

Can accounting software vendors offer EHF under their own brand?

Yes. Qvalia offers three partner models. With Embedded Peppol, you build the user experience and Qvalia operates the Peppol infrastructure through the Partner API. With the white-label platform, you launch Qvalia’s application under your own brand. With a Hosted Access Point, you hold your own Peppol Service Provider role and Qvalia operates the underlying infrastructure.

Understøtter Qvalia både webbaseret brug og integration i virksomhedssystemer?

Yes. Qvalia supports web-based e-invoicing, REST APIs, connectors, enterprise integrations, partner models, multi-tenant setups and white-label options.
