Digital Invoicing Requirements for Public Authorities Starting March 2025
In a significant step toward modernizing financial operations, Greenland will implement mandatory e-invoicing for all goods and services delivered to public authorities starting March 1, 2025. This initiative aligns with Denmark’s broader efforts to enhance digital transformation in public sector transactions.
What Does the Mandate Entail?
The e-invoicing requirement applies to all legal and natural persons providing services or goods to public entities, mandating the issuance of invoices that can be processed automatically and digitally.
Registration and Information Guidelines
Public authorities must register in the joint public NemHandelsRegister, ensuring transparency and standardization. Suppliers are required to include specific details in their invoices and contracts, such as:
- CVR number
- GLN number
- Reference person
- Order/requisition number
- Account string
These details must be integrated into contracts, orders, or requisitions to ensure compliance and facilitate efficient processing.
Exemptions and Consequences for Non-Compliance
Certain entities, particularly those with an annual turnover below thresholds to be determined by the municipal board, may be exempt from this requirement. However, invoices that fail to meet the digital processing criteria will be rejected, emphasizing the importance of adherence to the new standards.
Preparing for March 2025
Businesses should begin assessing their invoicing systems and processes to ensure alignment with the outlined e-invoicing framework. By adopting compliant tools and practices, entities can ensure a seamless transition and avoid operational disruptions.
