NemHandel

Last updated

NemHandel is a Danish e-invoicing infrastructure, developed by the National IT and Telecom Agency and launched in 2007. [1] NemHandel is based on open standards (including the Universal Business Language, Reliable Asynchronous Secure Profile (RASP), [2] and UDDI), open source components, and digital certificates. It was launched as part of a Danish Government Globalisation initiative in 2005 [3] under the auspices of Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen.

The public sector in Denmark receives more than 15 million electronic invoices every year from approximately 150,000 suppliers. Non-electronic invoices for a public sector institution will be rejected. There are more than 30,000 public sector e-invoicing end points. An end point can be everything from a municipality to a kindergarten or even a department within a public sector institution. End points are addressed via Global Location Numbers or via Company Registration Numbers (called CVR-numbers in Denmark).

History

NemHandel was mandated by law in February 2005.
