faktureringsadressen

Faktureringsadressen, or the billing address, is the address used for invoicing and payment processing. It identifies the payer to the supplier and to tax authorities, and it often determines where the invoice is mailed or electronically delivered. In many systems faktureringsadressen is distinct from the shipping or delivery address; it may be the registered business address, the address of the finance department, or another location designated for financial transactions. In B2B contexts it is common to have a separate invoicing address for central accounts or outsourcing arrangements, while in consumer sales the billing address usually matches the address on the payment method.

Data typically stored for faktureringsadressen includes the name of the payer (person or legal entity), street address, postal code, town or city, country, and, for business customers, VAT number. When processing card payments, payment processors may perform address verification (AVS) to compare the billing address with the cardholder’s information, which can affect authorization and risk assessment.

Legal and regulatory considerations include data protection, accuracy requirements for invoices, and retention rules; in the EU VAT system a correct billing address is important for cross-border transactions and VAT reporting. Best practices are to collect and store the billing address accurately in invoicing and accounting systems, allow updates, clearly indicate on invoices which address is billed, and ensure alignment with the payer’s records and payment method.
