peppol-bis-3— no obligation in lawDen 25. september 2026 pålegger ingen lov næringsdrivende å utveksle strukturerte elektroniske fakturaer seg imellom (B2B). Forskrift om elektronisk faktura i offentlige anskaffelser (FOR-2019-04-01-444), gitt med hjemmel i anskaffelsesloven § 16 tredje ledd og i kraft fra 2. april 2019, pålegger derimot at fakturaer til offentlige oppdragsgivere sendes som EHF-faktura eller PEPPOL BIS Billing versjon 3.0 eller nyere (§ 4) — en B2G-plikt som ikke endrer B2B-svaret. Organisasjonsnummeret fra Enhetsregisteret (ICD 0192, utstedt av Brønnøysundregistrene) identifiserer både parten og, sammen med suffikset «MVA», dens merverdiavgiftsregistrering: Norge har intet eget registreringsnummer for merverdiavgift atskilt fra organisasjonsnummeret, til forskjell fra land med to identifikatorer.

Free, and operated
Where the open core stops.
The line is operational, not functional. Everything that keeps working on its own is open core; what needs credentials, a certificate or a channel somebody keeps running is the hosted edition.
NO-MVA-MELDINGdeclarationFree, for everComputed from the ledger, frozen box by box, filed by hand on the administration’s portal, and what it owes is carried to 2650. The deposit number and the administration’s own words come back into your own database.
OperatedTransmission: the credentials, the certificate and a channel somebody keeps running. The return stays yours.
peppol-bis-3einvoicingFree, for everAn invoice is written and validated as peppol-bis-3 by a brick of packages/formats, and read back the same way.
OperatedSending and receiving over Peppol: a certified access point and a certificate.
