Greenland to Implement E-Invoicing for Public Sector Starting 2025

The Government of Greenland has announced the introduction of mandatory e-invoicing for all public sector transactions, set to take effect in 2025. The new executive order, published on November 11, 2024, mandates that both legal and natural persons must submit digital invoices when providing goods or services to public authorities.

Upcoming Changes

Under this regulation, digital invoices are defined as those issued, sent, and received in a structured electronic format that allows for automatic and digital processing. To facilitate this, public authorities must be registered as recipients in the joint public NemHandelsRegister, managed by the Danish Business Authority.

When entering into contracts or placing orders, public authorities must include key details such as their CVR number, GLN number, reference person, order or requisition number, and any relevant account information.

Businesses and individuals who do not meet a yet-to-be-defined threshold for annual turnover will be exempt from the mandate, though the municipal board has yet to determine this exemption criteria.

The executive order will officially come into effect on March 1, 2025. Invoices that are not compatible with digital processing will be rejected, marking a significant step in Greenland’s move toward digitalizing public sector transactions.
