Transitional period

Does e-invoice apply to invoices for supplies made in December 2026?

Short answer

No. The transitional obligation under § 85o ods. 2 of the VAT Act applies where the VAT payer makes the relevant domestic supply, or receives payment before that supply, from 1 January 2027. The decisive point is the date of the supply of goods or services, not the later date on which the related invoice is physically issued.

Decision date

Delivery of goods or services

Not the invoice date.

December 2026

Outside mandatory e-invoice

Delivery before 1.1.2027 is not controlled by a mandatory mode.

January 2027 and later

Mandatory e-invoice

It shall apply to deliveries made from that date onwards.

Invoice exposed later

No decision on the regime

Also, the invoice issued in January 2027 for December delivery remains outside the mandatory e-invoice.

Conclusion

Mandatory e-invoice applies to the specified supplies made from 1 January 2027; an invoice for a December 2026 supply remains outside that regime even if issued later.
