Als input voor de routekaart van de "Nordic Smart Government" (NSG) heeft Visma een voorstel gepromoot om verplichte e-facturering in Scandinavië mogelijk te maken. Het voorstel werd onderbouwd met een business case (2019) over e-factureren vanuit Noorwegen, gepresenteerd aan de NSG stuurgroep.

Background
As an input to the Nordic Smart Government (NSG) roadmap process, Visma has promoted a proposal to facilitate mandatory e-invoicing across the Nordics. The proposal was substantiated by a business case about e-invoicing from Norway, presented to the NSG steering group on June 19th 2019. On this steering group meeting, NSG chairman suggested that Visma produces and presents a Nordic business case (2019) to NSG, as input for the NSG Roadmap process.

The business case in this report is socio-economic. It presents savings based on businesses’ time and costs saved by converting invoices on paper and email to e-invoicing in businesses across the Nordics. The method is elaborated in the “Business Case” section. Visma does not conduct business in Iceland, thus our knowledge of this market is limited. Iceland is therefore excluded from the calculation. Regardless, the business case across the other Nordic markets, Denmark; Finland; Norway and Sweden, is quite substantial. We therefore assume that Iceland would add to the numbers.

Main findings and conclusion

• The business case states that the cross Nordic mandatory e-invoicing would represent annual savings of approximately € 19 billion across Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland.
    
• The largest business case is found in Sweden with annual savings calculated to approximately € 9,2 billion. Norway follows with € 4,2 billion, thereafter Denmark with € 3,9 billion and Finland with € 1,8 billion.
