Is e-invoicing mandatory in Denmark?
For the public sector, yes. All invoices to Danish public bodies have had to be electronic since 2005. There is no general B2B sending mandate yet, but the Bookkeeping Act (Bogføringsloven) requires businesses to use a digital bookkeeping system that can send and receive e-invoices via Peppol and NemHandel, phased in through 2024 to 2026.
Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement On-Line) is the standard electronic invoicing network used across Europe. Denmark was an early pioneer of e-invoicing: since 2005, all invoices to public-sector bodies must be sent electronically through NemHandel, the Danish national e-invoicing network, which is interoperable with Peppol.
Denmark’s framework is built around NemHandel and the OIOUBL format, alongside Peppol BIS Billing 3.0. Both are compliant with the European semantic standard EN 16931. The Danish Business Authority (Erhvervsstyrelsen) maintains the national standards and the NemHandel infrastructure.
The Bookkeeping Act (Bogføringsloven), adopted in 2022, is driving the next wave. It requires businesses to keep their records in a digital bookkeeping system that can send and receive e-invoices via Peppol and NemHandel. The requirements are phased in from 2024 to 2026, so being connected to Peppol now keeps you ready.
