What this means for you
Estonian public-sector buyers require e-invoices. Since July 1, 2025, any accounting entity registered as an e-invoice recipient may require its supplier to submit a machine-readable invoice; this is buyer-triggered, not a universal B2B mandate.
What FreeBillGen can verify
For eligible saved invoices, FreeBillGen can prepare generic OASIS UBL and UN/CEFACT CII mappings and run its named internal checks. These mappings are not EN 16931, Factur-X, Peppol, national-CIUS or clearance-platform validation. FreeBillGen does not transmit them through a provider network.
