Overview 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.

E-billing enables the digital and automated transmission of invoice data to the Confederation. Invoices can either be emailed as a PDF file or be submitted as a structured dataset via a service provider. The Confederation processes the data electronically, which avoids manual logging errors and accelerates the process.

E-bills can be submitted to the Confederation in several ways. This allows faster, paperless processing and reduces the administrative burden.

Private individuals and business customers can receive e-bills from the Confederation electronically. Business customers can either integrate e-bills directly into their accounting software or download them via online banking. Private individuals receive their invoices directly in their bank's online banking application.
