E-invoicing coverage, country by country
Governments are moving to mandatory e-invoicing faster than most finance teams can track. This is the current state of play, country by country, with Light's coverage marked in orange.
- Supported by Light today
- Not yet supported by Light
Tracked as of August 2026. Mandates shift often; this page is updated as they do.
Two things are tracked separately below. A country's mandate status is regulatory context: a mandatory regime already in force for some or all taxpayers, a mandate that's legislated and phasing in on a published timeline, or a national voluntary network (usually Peppol) with no legal requirement to use it yet. Separately, the Light column and the map's orange highlight show where Light itself already handles e-invoicing end to end, whatever stage that country's mandate is in.

Built to keep pace with the mandates
E-invoicing rules don't sit still: clearance models, formats and thresholds all change mid-year. Light is built around that.
01
Native formats
UBL, Peppol BIS, XRechnung, ZUGFeRD, FatturaPA, CFDI and the other structured formats a mandate actually asks for, not a PDF with a QR code bolted on.
02
Clearance and reporting
Real-time clearance models and continuous transaction controls post straight from the ledger, so the invoice a tax authority sees matches the one your books show.
03
One ledger, every entity
Statutory e-invoicing per entity, reconciled back to a single multi-entity, multi-currency ledger, with no side system per country to keep in sync.
04
Rules that update themselves
When a mandate's timeline or format changes, that change ships to every affected entity, not a project your team has to run.
What should you check for a Nordic rollout?
Check invoice exchange and bank connectivity separately for each entity and account.
Invoice exchange
Confirm entity registration, sending and receiving direction, invoice and credit-note formats, delivery status and rejection handling.
Bank connections
Agree account currencies, statement feeds, payment initiation, consent renewal and failure handling for each connection.
End-to-end test
Trace one invoice and credit note through delivery, payment and reconciliation. Name the owner of each manual step.
Review Denmark, Sweden, Norway or Finland and the integration catalogue, then confirm the specific setup with Light.
