Forum for Electronic Commerce
Within the forum, we drive increased digitalization of electronic business processes. It began with a focus on e-invoices, but we now cover the entire Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) chain—from product information, e-orders, and e-invoices to digital receipts and e-accounting.
In our forum, authorities such as the Swedish Tax Agency, the Swedish Companies Agency, and the Swedish Statistical Office (SCB) work together with operators and system providers. Together, we discuss challenges and solutions through collaboration. The forum produces reports on current topics to disseminate information.
We monitor the developments in e-commerce in Sweden, the Nordic region and the EU. We monitor news regarding format issues, standards and legal issues. One example is ViDA (VAT in a digital age), which is a current topic right now.
We hold approximately 4 digital meetings per year, where representatives from our members participate.
NEA’s coordinator, Anna Amgren, is the chairperson of the forum.
