Cy e-Invoicing (Local Authorities)

The third EU-funded project that Goldman participated in, as a partner, was the «Cy e-Invoicing (Local Authorities)». In addition to our company, the consortium consisted of the Ministry of Interior (MoI), the Union of Cyprus Municipalities (UCM), the Ministry of Finance (MoF), the Union of Cyprus Communities, Nicosia Municipality, RTD TALOS LTD (TALOS) and BOOMERTEL LIMITED.

The Project started on the 1st of January 2018 and ended on the 31st of March 2019. The total budget for the Project was €1,070,000.

The scope of this action was to promote and accelerate the uptake of eInvoicing among communities and municipalities in Cyprus. This action was built on the results of the first CEF e-Invoicing project (Action 2015-CY-IA 0052) by piloting the e-Invoicing platform (PEPPOL complaint) selected under the previous action in the Municipality of Nicosia. The e-Invoicing platform was customized and tested to suit the needs of the Municipality of Nicosia.

In addition, the action undertook information gathering and analysis of existing ERPs (Enterprise Resource Planning) used by the Regional and Local Authorities (i.e. communities and municipalities) in Cyprus in order to streamline and ease the adoption of e Invoicing by the local and regional authorities. Further to the above, the scope included the enrolment of all 383 local authorities to the e-Invoicing platform to enable receiving and processing of the electronic invoices compliant with the European e-Invoicing Standard (EN16931).
