Finland
Live since April 2020
Mandate Overview
The mandate
Finland's Act on Electronic Invoicing (241/2019) entered into force on April 1, 2020, granting every business and public-sector buyer the legal right to demand structured e-invoices from their suppliers. B2G e-invoicing through Hansel and the Valtiokonttori (State Treasury) has been mandatory since 2010 and fully digital since the 2020 Act. While Finland has no clearance-style mandate, the buyer-on-request mechanism has driven near-universal B2B adoption, with Peppol BIS, Finvoice 3.0, and TEAPPSXML the dominant formats.
