In December 2022, it became mandatory for companies to issue electronic invoices in public procurement according to the EN norm, but details about the scope and the implementation timeline were left to be regulated in secondary law. On 12 April 2023, a joint decision by the Ministers of Finance, Development and Investments, Digital Governance and Transport was published (Decision no. 52445/2023) which outlined the timeline for the roll-out of the B2G invoicing mandate for economic operators in all the government sector (with some exceptions such as contracts for national security).
According to the decision, the timeline of implementation is as follows:
- Suppliers to some of the major government agencies (e.g. Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Digital Transformation, Ministry of Migration and Asylum etc.) will be in scope by the end of this year.
- As of 1 January 2024, suppliers to all central government agencies will be in scope.
- From 1 June 2024 suppliers to all other government authorities will be scope.
- From 1 January 2025, other expenses of the government must be invoiced electronically.
