Send e-invoices

Benefits of sending e-invoices

• You save time and eliminate the need to print, add postage to and post the invoices.
• You get better control over your invoices.
• Your customers receive your invoices faster.

As a supplier, when you send an e-invoice, it goes straight into your customer's accounting software and is automatically registered. For this to work, your customers need to have software that can accept e-invoices.

Benefits of receiving e-invoices in your accounting system

• Eliminate the paperwork and file your supplier invoices as they arrive – digitally.
• You do not have to enter all the figures manually.
• It is more reliable – the risk of data entry errors is eliminated as all values are entered directly into your accounting software, including supplier data.
• You can have the invoice assigned to an account and cleared automatically.
• It is much easier to search and check a digitised supplier invoice afterwards.

Please note that PDF invoices do not count as e-invoices. Do not forget to inform your customers that you are switching to e-invoicing and ensure that they can receive the e-invoices you send.

What do I need to do?

If you have an accounting software or invoicing service provider – ask them how they can help you with e-invoicing. Your bank can also help you. There are different solutions; the choice depends on the size and needs of your business.

Do you supply goods or services to a municipality, region or government agency?

If you are a supplier to the public sector, you must send e-invoices and all public organisations must be able to receive them. Paper and PDF invoices must be converted to e-invoices.

DIGG's website (Agency for Digital Government) provides more information on the new law and how you as a supplier can prepare.
