Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Peppol e-invoicing mandatory for private sector in Sweden?
- Sweden's mandate covers public sector only. Private sector B2B Peppol adoption is voluntary. However, Sweden has high Peppol adoption rates in B2B driven by demand from public sector-connected buyers and accounting software integration.
- What identifier do Swedish businesses use on Peppol?
- Swedish businesses use their Swedish organization number (organisationsnummer) as the Peppol participant identifier. The 10-digit number is prefixed with the Swedish Peppol identifier scheme code (0007) in the SMP registration.
