News E-bill

All invoices for the Confederation must be submitted electronically. This e-billing requirement for suppliers saves time and costs, reduces paper consumption and speeds up processing. Small procurements are exempt from this requirement.

Bill us electronically

Instead of printing your invoice and posting it to the Federal Administration, send your invoice data electronically to an e-bill service provider. You can save time and money – we will process your invoices swiftly and seamlessly. Suppliers can submit invoices as structured e-bills or as PDFs via various channels.

Proportion of e-billing exceeds 90%

The Confederation currently receives more than 90% of its invoices electronically. Since the federal government obliged its suppliers to submit electronic invoices, the proportion of e-bills has risen steadily and now stands at just over 90%. With a total volume of around 750,000 invoices per year, this corresponds to approximately 687,000 e-bills. The obligation does not apply to all invoices, as small procurements are exempt.
