Estonia: proposed mandatory e-invoicing for all VAT-taxable B2B transactions from 2027
115 dagen vanaf vandaag
Opmerking bij de datum: PROPOSED, not adopted: the Ministry of Finance published a notice of intent (väljatöötamiskavatsus) to amend the Käibemaksuseadus (VAT Act) to require e-invoices for VAT-registered B2B transactions and remove the current €1,000 threshold for declaring individual transactions in the VAT return annex, targeting entry into force from 2027. As of 2026-09-08 this is still an early-stage draft notice, not a bill submitted to the Riigikogu — do not treat 2027 as confirmed.
The Ministry of Finance is drafting a VAT Act amendment that would make structured e-invoices mandatory for domestic B2B transactions between VAT-registered businesses and require all invoices (not just those above €1,000) to be declared in the VAT return annex, aimed at closing an estimated multi-million-euro VAT collection gap.
Voor wie geldt dit
All Estonian VAT-registered businesses issuing or receiving domestic B2B invoices, if and when the amendment is adopted.

Wat u moet doen
No action required yet — this is a draft notice of intent, not law. Track the Käibemaksuseadus amendment through the Ministry of Finance (fin.ee) and the Riigikogu legislative process before assuming a 2027 e-invoicing mandate applies; continue operating under the current buyer's-right regime (see ee-einvoicing-buyer-right) in the meantime.
Amendment to the Raamatupidamise seadus (Accounting Act, RPS §71 lg 7), passed by the Riigikogu on 18 September 2024, in force since 2025-07-01. A separate, wider mandatory B2B e-invoicing regime (removing the VAT return's €1,000 threshold) is only at the draft notice-of-intent stage as of 2026-09-08, targeting 2027-01-01 — not yet adopted (see ee-einvoicing-b2b-mandate-2027-proposed).
All Estonian businesses selling to companies or public bodies registered as e-invoice recipients; sellers must be able to comply on request.
