Odoo electronic invoicing in Estonia¶
Odoo Invoicing is your trusted partner for safe, efficient, and legally compliant e-invoicing solutions tailored to Estonia’s regulatory standards.
Legal framework for e-invoicing in Estonia¶
In Estonia, businesses must comply with e-invoicing regulations to ensure secure, authentic, and storable transactions. The main legal framework governing e-invoicing in Estonia is the Accounting Act and its provisions related to e-invoicing, which align with EU Directive 2014/55/EU on e-invoicing in public procurement. Since 2019, B2G transactions must use electronic invoices via Estonia’s Rik’s e-Invoicing System, the government’s platform for public sector e-invoicing. Estonia is also part of the Peppol network, which ensures standardized cross-border e-invoicing across Europe. Additionally, the use of e-invoicing is encouraged for B2B transactions, promoting better transparency, efficiency, and compliance with VAT requirements.
