Mandate Overview

The mandate

Liechtenstein's invoicing infrastructure follows the Swiss model under the Swiss-Liechtenstein customs and VAT union. Domestic B2B invoicing typically uses the Swiss QR-bill standard introduced in 2020, while public-sector procurement increasingly accepts Peppol BIS 3.0 under the EEA transposition of EU Directive 2014/55/EU. There is no mandatory B2B e-invoicing regime, and the Steuerverwaltung Liechtenstein has no announced plans for a clearance-style mandate. Cross-border invoicing into Austrian, Swiss, and German trading partners follows partner requirements.

FAQ

Common questions

Is e-invoicing mandatory in Liechtenstein?

No. There is no Liechtenstein mandate. Paper, PDF, QR-bill, and structured e-invoices are all legally valid. The Swiss QR-bill is the dominant domestic standard under the customs and VAT union with Switzerland.

What format does Liechtenstein use?

The Swiss QR-bill is dominant for domestic invoicing. Peppol BIS 3.0 is increasingly accepted for cross-border B2B and public-sector exchanges, particularly with Austrian and German counterparts.
