e-invoicing in Sweden
E-invoicing is well established in Sweden, with broad adoption across both public and private sectors. While a B2B e-invoicing mandate is not yet in place, it is mandatory for suppliers to the Swedish public sector. Ongoing discussions and the EU’s VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) initiative are expected to shape upcoming regulatory changes.
On the consumer side, Sweden is preparing to launch a “Ja tack till e-faktura” (Yes to All) register in 2025, allowing consumers to opt-in to receive all invoices electronically, similar to Norway’s national model.
When registering a new Swedish company via the API, the Swedish organisation number or SSN must be used as the company identifier. Visma Sign supports Swedish customer authentication using either a personal ID or BankID.
| Supported business identifiers | Explanation | Validation and verification of the id |
|---|---|---|
| ORGNR | Organisation number (55XXXX-XXXX) | Structural validation |
| SSN | Social Security Number | Structural validation |
For B2B and B2G, sending in Sweden is currently supported in the following priority order: through Maventa’s internal network, Peppol, the Swedish operator network, and InExchange for selected operators. If electronic delivery is not possible, email and print serve as fallback options.
For consumer invoicing (B2C), Maventa enables delivery to Swedish consumers via online banks, digital mail solutions such as Kivra and Billo, as well as through email or print.
You can either send only recipient’s bid or complete endpoint id, we will deliver via operator network or Peppol. Peppol is first in Sweden
How the recipient lookup works with InExchange or NEA?
Maventa partners with InExchange to reach Swedish operators where we lack a direct connection. The primary format used is Peppol BIS Billing 3.0., Svefaktura is a fallback when the Peppol BIS format is not valid in sending.
In Sweden, companies can receive invoices through several channels. If a company has activated e-invoice receiving, they can receive invoices via Maventa’s internal network, the Swedish operator network, and InExchange. Additionally, if the company is registered with Peppol, Peppol receiving is available. Companies with the scanning activated can also receive scanned invoices.
The NEA registry (Nationella Elektroniska Adressregistret) is the National Electronic Address Registry in Sweden. It is a central database that stores information about Swedish companies’ electronic invoice addresses and other identifiers used for routing e-invoices within Sweden.
Maventa registers all Swedish companies to NEA using BID as the e-invoicing address, in addition to the Peppol address if company has registered themselves to receive also through Peppol network.
We recommend registering all Swedish customers as Peppol receivers. when registered in Peppol, customers receive a standard Peppol e-invoice address.
For Swedish companies, Maventa automatically assigns two e-invoice receiving addresses when company activates e-invoice receiving:
| Address Type | Description | Example address | Activation Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| 752-prefixed address | Internal routing identifier used also still for InExchange. Not an official ID. | 752551111111101 | Created automatically when e-invoice receiving is activate for Maventa account |
| BID (Business Identifier) | Official identifier used in the Swedish operator network. Registered in the NEA registry. | 5511111111 | Created automatically when e-invoice receiving is activate for Maventa account |
| Peppol address | Official identifier for the Peppol network. Registered in the NEA registry. | 0007:5511111111 | Created when company registers themselves to receive also from Peppol |
Sweden has its own national invoice format, Svefaktura, alongside the Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 format. The latest version of Svefaktura has been aligned with Peppol BIS, signaling a clear move toward harmonization. The Swedish government actively encourages Peppol adoption, and usage continues to grow steadily.
