An electronic invoice should be generated in accordance with European standards. Unlike B2G transactions, B2B and B2C transactions or other types of tax reporting are not mandatory. Due to the announcement that the government made, Skatterverket started consultation for three types of various tax reports. These 3 different reports are as follows;

- New real time invoice reports such as Spain SII or Hungary RTIR.
