Denmark uses the PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0 specification for B2G e-invoicing.

PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0 is based on the Universal Business Language (UBL2.1) format and adheres to the European standard for e-Invoicing (EN 16931).

PEPPOL also has its own requirements that are defined on top of UBL.

For Vertex e-Invoicing, this means you can create your VRBL as usual but you must be aware of the requirements for each of the following formats and networks:

Mandate Information

Suppliers of services and goods are required to send electronic invoices (UBL) to public institutions and public authorities since 2005.

Since the implementation of Directive 2014/55/EU on April 18, 2019, all public entities must be able to receive and process electronic invoices in accordance with the European Standard on e-invoicing (EN-16931).

Denmark has implemented the European standard on e-invoicing (EN-16931) using the Universal Business Language (UBL) 2.1. The national standard, known as OIOUBL, is based on UBL 2.0.

In B2G public procurement, the Danish government mandates the use of NemHandel, a public infrastructure that enables companies to submit electronic invoices securely over the Internet. PEPPOL can be used to support the B2G mandate. No electronic signature is required for e-invoices, and the archiving period amounts to 5 years for movable properties and 10 years for immovable properties

B2B transaction are not yet mandatory in Denmark.
