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 2026, allowing consumers to opt-in to receive all invoices electronically, similar to Norway’s national model.
Swedish company account
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 |
Sending in Sweden
Supported delivery channels in Sweden
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.
Recipient identifiers and address resolution
For the most reliable delivery, include the full Peppol endpoint ID in the invoice XML. The standard Peppol scheme for Swedish companies is 0007, based on the organisation number (organisationsnummer). Peppol takes priority over other delivery channels in Sweden — when a Peppol endpoint is found, the invoice is delivered via Peppol first.
| Identifier type | Peppol scheme | Example endpoint ID | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Organisation number | 0007 |
0007:5511111111 |
Standard for Swedish companies |
| GLN (Global Location Number) | 0088 |
0088:1234567890128 |
EAN location number |
If you provide only the organisation number without a scheme prefix (for example 5511111111), Maventa automatically prefixes it with 0007: and performs a Peppol lookup. The organisation number can be provided with or without the SE country prefix — both 5511111111 and SE5511111111 are accepted.
Providing the full endpoint ID 0007:organisationsnummer removes any ambiguity and ensures the invoice is routed directly to the correct recipient.
InExchange network
Maventa partners with InExchange to reach Swedish operators where a direct connection is not available. The primary format used is Peppol BIS Billing 3.0. Svefaktura is a fallback when the Peppol BIS format is not valid for sending.
Receiving in Sweden
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.
NEA registry
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.
Maventa recommends 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 |
Scanning
Both Scan Network and AutoScan are supported scanning solutions in Sweden.
For Scan Network, invoices can be sent to the company’s scan email address in the format BID@autoinvoice.se, where BID is the company’s organisation number. Paper invoices can also be sent by post to: Company name, AISEXXXX Scancloud, SE-831 90 ÖSTERSUND, Sweden (where XXXX is the customer number).
Fraud detection
Maventa’s Detect service is available in Sweden. Detect automatically checks received invoices for potential fraud, including VAT register verification and warning list cross-referencing.
For step-by-step instructions on enabling receiving, registering for Peppol, and setting up scanning or fraud detection, see the invoice receiving integration guide.
Accounts receivable services
Ropo Reminder & Collection is available for Swedish companies, offering reminder and debt collection services through Ropo. The service allows you to transfer overdue invoices to Ropo for reminder handling and collection directly through the Maventa API. For more details on how the service works, see the Accounts receivable section in the Integration Guide.
e-invoicing formats used in Sweden
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, signalling a clear move towards harmonisation. The Swedish government actively encourages Peppol adoption, and usage continues to grow steadily.
| Format | Standard | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 | EN16931 | Recommended for cross-border and Peppol delivery |
| Svefaktura | EN16931 | Swedish national format, used as fallback when Peppol BIS is not valid |
