Denmark plans to make Peppol the default e-invoicing channel from 1 January 2027. Businesses must decide whether to adopt or opt out by 1 December 2026.
Denmark has put forward a plan for an opt-out model for Peppol e-invoicing, aiming to launch it on 1 January 2027. Danish businesses should gear up for mandatory Peppol usage unless they actively opt out by 1 December 2026.
Denmark plans to adopt an opt-out model for Peppol e-invoicing, rolling out on 1 January 2027. This proposal is in sync with the EU's push for standardized e-invoicing, aimed at boosting VAT compliance and easing cross-border transactions.
Denmark's move is part of a larger effort to align more closely with EU digital invoicing standards, especially with the forthcoming ViDA Directive 2025/87, which demands greater digitization of VAT processes.
Under the opt-out model, Peppol becomes the default invoicing channel. Businesses that do not wish to use Peppol must take explicit action before the opt-out deadline.
Led by Danish tax authorities and business groups to prepare companies for the switch.
Last day for businesses to formally opt out of the Peppol model if they do not wish to use it.
Peppol becomes the default e-invoicing method for all Danish businesses unless they have opted out.
Danish businesses, here is the deal: Peppol e-invoicing becomes your default method unless you choose to opt out. This could shake up your invoicing procedures, meaning you might need to tweak your current systems to meet Peppol standards.
Evaluate if your current invoicing setup can integrate Peppol and whether it fits your business strategy.
If Peppol does not align with your operations, plan to opt out by 1 December 2026 — but consider the long-term benefits first.
Peppol simplifies trade with EU partners by providing a single, standardized network for e-invoicing.
The model supports real-time VAT reporting and reduces the risk of invoice fraud and errors.
The message is straightforward: assess your readiness for Peppol or decide to opt out by 1 December 2026. Waiting until the last quarter of 2026 could leave insufficient time for technical integration or staff training.
