The report: The ability of Sole traders to use e-invoicing
In NEA’s System Provider Forum working group, we asked the following questions:
– Does sole traders have the same ability to send/receive e-invoices as Public Limited Companies?
– Does Sole traders find it a hassle to handle e-invoices?
– What impact does Sole traders have on achieving the goal of 80% e-invoicing in Sweden in 2024?
The questions arose in connection with the first report ”80% e-invoicing in Sweden 2024” prepared by NEA in 2022
About sole traders in Sweden
Extracts from the report (section 4.2.6).)
Sole traders: There are approximately 500,000-600,000 Sole traders in Sweden. To achieve 80% e-invoicing, it is of great importance that they are easy for them to be searchable in networks, just like other business forms, e.g. in NEA’s e-register and Peppol’s network. Their registration should be possible, just as today, without additional requirements such as purchasing a GLN number, which creates additional complexity. The existing catalogs/networks must support the ability for individual firms to register based on their organizational number/personal number.
