SE-R-001

Validation message

For Swedish suppliers, Swedish VAT-numbers must consist of 14 characters.

Explanation

If the seller is based in Sweden and its VAT ID starts with SE, it must be exactly 14 characters long: SE followed by 12 digits (the 10-digit organisation number plus 01). The requirement comes from the Swedish rules of PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0.

How to fix

Ask the seller for a corrected invoice that states its full VAT ID as SE followed by 12 digits, without spaces or separators.

This field is required by §14 Abs. 4 Nr. 2 UStG. A missing or incorrect value may affect input VAT deduction (Vorsteuerabzug) for the recipient.
