The Norwegian Banking Authority has changed the systems for eInvoicing in Norway. This came into force 15 / 5-2022. What has now been introduced is known as "eInvoice 2.0". This system uses social security numbers as identification, not e-invoice reference. Should you continue to receive eInvoices from ReMidt IKS, you must also have given approval for this via your bank or Vipps.

This change affects us who send out invoices. ReMidt IKS must obtain information about housing conditions from the public property register in order to issue the correct renovation fee to the inhabitants. It also means that it is the social security number of the legal owner of a property, as it appears in the public property register, which is now the invoice recipient from ReMidt IKS.

An invoice is sent to the owner of the property
Until today, we have in some cases, at the request of homeowners, sent a renovation fee to, for example, tenants, even though it is the homeowner who is legally responsible for the renovation fee being paid. This practice will now cease with the reorganization of the banking system, as we no longer have the opportunity to detach the invoice recipient from the owner information in the public property register.

We regret that this may be perceived as poorer customer service for some residents, however ReMidt has no other option but to follow the current national rules and routines for invoicing.

What does this mean for you who have an eInvoice?
Bits AS (the banking and finance industry's infrastructure company) requires that everyone who wants to continue receiving eFaktura must have given a general confirmation of this. Such confirmation can be given through your bank connection or Vipps. In order to continue receiving eFaktura, you as a customer must have given an acceptance of what is often referred to as "Yes, thank you to everyone" or "Always eFaktura" in your online bank / Vipps.

ReMidt as an invoice issuer has no opportunity to influence this. Our information about e-invoice recipients comes from the banks themselves and we have no opportunity to review this information. If you have problems getting your e-invoice, or you suddenly receive an invoice in the mail, even though you have received an e-invoice before, you must contact your bank connection.

These are the changes:

• You must select "Yes, thank you to everyone" from everyone in your payment area. Then you will be able to get an eInvoice from all invoice issuers that offer this.
• If you have selected "Yes, thank you to everyone", companies can use the information they have about you, such as name and address, possibly also mobile number and email address, to search for your unique eInvoice address and send you an eInvoice.
• If you have selected "Yes, thank you to everyone", it is possible to receive the first invoice as an eInvoice.
• With "Yes, thank you to everyone" consent, all invoices will be sent to the person who is registered as the recipient on the invoice. It is no longer possible for another person to "own" the agreement to receive eInvoices from certain issuers.
• If you withdraw the consent of "Yes, thank you to everyone" AFTER 15 May 2022, all eInvoices you receive will be stopped in the service and you will no longer receive any eInvoices.
