E-invoicing in Norway: what you need to know

This article is for operators and business accounts established in Norway. It explains what the Norwegian e-invoicing rules change, what Monta does for you, and the company details you need to complete in Hub.

What is changing

Norway is moving invoices between businesses (B2B) to structured e-invoices. An e-invoice is a machine-readable file in the EHF format (Peppol BIS Billing 3.0), delivered over the Peppol network. A PDF sent by email no longer counts as a valid VAT document for these sales.

Date	What applies
1 January 2027	Businesses with a duty to keep accounts in Norway (bokføringsplikt) must send B2B invoices as e-invoices
1 January 2030	The same businesses must be able to receive e-invoices and keep digital accounts

All businesses start on the same date. There are no turnover bands.

Which sales are in scope

In scope	Not in scope
Sales from a Norwegian business to another Norwegian business	Sales to consumers, for example drivers paying for a charge
	Sales where Monta is the seller (Monta is established in Denmark)
	Home charging reimbursements and other transfers that are not sales
	Sales to businesses outside Norway

What Monta does for you

Monta sends the EHF e-invoices for you through its Peppol access point, Storecove. The buyer is found on Peppol by their organisation number.

• When you sell: each month, Monta sends one summary e-invoice per buyer for your in-scope sales.
• When you buy: you receive the e-invoice that Monta sent on behalf of the seller.
• Payment: sales are already settled in real time through your Monta Wallet. The e-invoice documents the sale and shows nothing to pay.
• Receipts: individual charging receipts are still created in real time, for your records. They are no longer the valid VAT document.

Complete your company details

Complete these details for your operator and for each Norwegian business account before 1 January 2027.

1. For a business account, open the account and go to the Settings tab, then General. For your own company, go to Admin > Operator > Settings.
2. In the Tax identifiers card, enter the Organisation number (organisasjonsnummer, 9 digits).
3. Check the legal name, Legal form and address, and whether the company is Registered in the Register of Business Enterprises (Foretaksregisteret).
4. If applicable, select the VAT exemption reason.

Frequently asked questions

Will I still receive my monthly billing document as a PDF?

Yes. The monthly billing document stays a PDF and is still the document you pay from. On the Direct and Invoice by Monta financial models, Monta is the seller, so those sales are outside the Norwegian rules.

Does my business customer need to be on Peppol?

Monta delivers to the buyer's organisation number. From 1 January 2030, every Norwegian business must be able to receive e-invoices.

I use Pay as you go. Do I still get e-invoices?

Yes. Monta sends e-invoices for in-scope sales whatever payment method the account uses.

Which rules apply to my business?

Check with your accountant. For example, some sole proprietorships with very low turnover may be exempt.
