Mandate Overview

The mandate

Denmark is Europe's e-invoicing pioneer, mandating B2G electronic invoicing since February 2005 through the NemHandel infrastructure operated by Erhvervsstyrelsen (Danish Business Authority). The Bookkeeping Act (Bogforingsloven) extends digital bookkeeping and structured invoicing to all Danish businesses in phases through 2026, requiring registered digital bookkeeping systems and the ability to send and receive structured e-invoices via NemHandel or Peppol. OIOUBL 3, the updated Danish CIUS, became the new official format in 2025.
