Next phase deadline
ViDA intra-EU B2B from 1 Jul 2030
Does this apply to me?
Two questions. The fixed-establishment rule is where most foreign businesses get it wrong.
Is your business established in Finland (registered office, branch or fixed establishment)?
Do you make intra-EU B2B supplies involving Finland?
Finland: likely outside the issuing mandate — watch e-reporting / cross-border
VAT registration or trading alone, without a fixed establishment, usually keeps you outside Finland's issuing obligation — but you may still face e-reporting or need to receive structured e-invoices. Confirm your establishment status.
Not in scope for Finland
With no establishment and no registration or trade in Finland, the mandate doesn't apply to you today. Revisit this if you open a branch, warehouse or start supplying into Finland.
Finland: no domestic mandate yet — ViDA applies from July 2030
Finland has no confirmed domestic B2B mandate, but ViDA makes structured e-invoicing and digital reporting mandatory for intra-EU B2B from 1 July 2030. Build EN 16931 / Peppol capability now.
No e-invoicing mandate applies in Finland today
No general B2B e-invoicing mandate applies in Finland, but a Finnish customer with turnover above EUR 10,000 can require you to send an EN 16931 e-invoice, and the state accepts nothing else. Watch the 2030 ViDA date.
