EST GVT Flexible Electronic Invoicing

Published on: Sep 24, 2024

On Sep. 19, EST GVT announced amendments to the Accounting Act.

  • EST GVT confirmed the Riigikogu approved amendments to Accounting Act 428 SE.
  • Simplifies requirements for circulation of e-invoices and reduces administrative burden.
  • Amendments
  • The amendments are not of a large scale and concern two narrower areas in particular.
  • Firstly, the possibilities for entrepreneurs to register as recipients of e-invoices in the commercial register will be simplified; in future, this can also be done by the company itself, and not just by the e-invoice handler (e-invoice operator) of its choice.
  • Secondly, the law will only support the use of the European e-invoicing standard.
  • At the same time, the principle of freedom of transaction and format remains in force.
  • The format of the document and conditions for its submission are generally agreed between the transaction partners; use of all other invoice formats is also still allowed.
  • Effectiveness
  • The changes will enter into force on Jul. 1, 2025.
