Invoices to SGU

Electronic invoices

From 1 April 2019, it is a legal requirement that all purchases in the public sector must be invoiced with an electronic invoice (e-invoice). If you have an agreement with us that was signed before 1 April 2019, and that does not require an e-invoice, we would like you to send electronic invoices. Please note that PDF is not an approved format.
