Serbia B2B e-invoicing update

Sistem E-Faktura B2B e-invoices reporting timeline reduced Jan 2024

The deadline for electronic recording of calculations VAT is shortened from 15 to 10 days from 1 January 2024 per a new Bill. There are also changes to adjustments of customs-related e-invoicing from August 2024.

Since 1 January 2023, B2B e-invoicing has been mandated in Serbia via Sistem E-Faktura.

This covers the creation, issuance, sending and receiving, processing and storage of e-invoicing. A new central clearing system, Continuous Transaction Controls (CTC) model has been created for the submission of sales invoice and then retrieval by customers in accordance with the Serbian Standard on Electronic Invoicing.

The scope of the e-invoicing extends to non-resident businesses with a local fiscal representative. Any eligible taxpayer (supplier or customer) has to register to the electronic invoicing system online. At this point, the applicant must determine if they will be submitting e-invoices themselves or via and authorised e-agent.

How to create e-invoices – Sistem za Upravljanje Fakturama (SUF)

To access the electronic invoicing system, SUF, directly, there will be two routes:

  1. Internet browser to create, upload or access supplier e-invoices
  2. API Application Programming Interface to connect taxpayer software directly
