Digital Information Interchange in the Insurance Industry - Electronic Premium Invoice - Mapping to Electronic Invoice EN 16931-1:2017

This document defines the standardized mapping of the specific requirements of an insurance premium invoice to the generic electronic invoice described in EN 16931-1. This mapping meets the requirements of an electronic premium invoice to ensure legal (including fiscal) compliance as well as business and technical demands of the insurance industry.
Premium invoices can be issued by different organizations of the insurance industry to commercial clients or consumers. This document includes premium invoices issued by insurance companies as well as insurance intermediaries.
This document does not deal with data protection matters in premium invoices.
NOTE   General Data Protection Regulation, EU Regulation 2016/679 can include requirements on personal data.
Premium invoices are regularly not subject to VAT but to special taxes. In particular, the requirements resulting from insurance tax regulations are considered. Requirements for other taxes are also incorporated.
The rules defined in EN 16931-1 do not support invoices with amounts not subject to VAT together with additional amounts which are subject to VAT. Therefore, this document also does not support premium invoices which invoice other goods and services which are subject to VAT invoiced together with premium amounts.
Out of the scope of this document are accounting transactions between insurance companies and insurance intermediaries which may contain premium invoice data, but regularly consist of other data (e.g. commissions) which are not part of a regular invoice.

Introduction
Electronic invoicing is an important requirement for the digitalization in all commercial domains and in
the consumer sector. The European Commission mandated CEN to establish a European standard for
this prerequisite. CEN developed in several parts the semantic and syntactical standards for the
implementation of electronic invoicing. In the European standard EN 16931-1, the semantic data model
of the core elements of an electronic invoice is defined. This standard is designed to be implemented
cross-domain in all industries.
Since the first publication of EN 16931-1 in 2017, software applications based on EN 16931-1 are
increasingly in use. Therefore, clients using such software systems demand the delivery of electronic
invoices from their supplier. Also, in the consumer sector software applications support the digital
import of electronic invoices, e.g. in home-banking software.
The insurance industry is a significant supplier for all commercial domains and the consumer sector.
Consequently, commercial and consumer insurance clients demand an electronic invoicing from the
insurance sector.
Because the insurance industry is a cross-domain supplier, the insurance sector should use the core
semantic data model described in EN 16931-1 without insurance-specific extensions that would require
a special import software at the insurance client.
Therefore, this document defines the standardized mapping of the specific requirements of an
insurance premium invoice to the generic core semantic data model described in EN 16931-1.
The aim of this document is to establish European-wide implementation guidance for the insurance
industry containing the semantic mapping. The mapping to a concrete syntax is not part of this
document. A concrete implementation of this document complies with a “Core Invoice Usage
Specification” (CIUS) as specified in EN 16931-1. Therefore insurance industry trading partners can rely
on the syntax bindings provided for EN 16931-1.
Benefits for invoice issuers (insurance companies or insurance intermediaries) are:
• reduced costs for paper, printing, and physical transportation;
• reduced time for invoice delivery;
• reduced time for payment receipt;
• reduced time for service on incorrect or incomplete payments.
Benefits for commercial insurance clients are:
• import of digital premium invoices to their enterprise software;
• reduced manual processing;
• avoidance of payment errors.
Benefits for consumer insurance clients are:
• import of digital premium invoices to their banking software;
• easier payment process;
• avoidance of payment errors;
• use for digital tax declaration.
1 Scope
This document defines the standardized mapping of the specific requirements of an insurance premium
invoice to the generic electronic invoice described in EN 16931-1. This mapping meets the
requirements of an electronic premium invoice to ensure legal (including fiscal) compliance as well as
business and technical demands of the insurance industry.
Premium invoices can be issued by different organizations of the insurance industry to commercial
clients or consumers. This document includes premium invoices issued by insurance companies as well
as insurance intermediaries.
This document does not deal with data protection matters in premium invoices.
NOTE General Data Protection Regulation, EU Regulation 2016/679 can include requirements on personal
data.
Premium invoices are regularly not subject to VAT but to special taxes. In particular, the requirements
resulting from insurance tax regulations are considered. Requirements for other taxes are also
incorporated.
The rules defined in EN 16931-1 do not support invoices with amounts not subject to VAT together
with additional amounts which are subject to VAT. Therefore, this document also does not support
premium invoices which invoice other goods and services which are subject to VAT invoiced together
with premium amounts.
Out of the scope of this document are accounting transactions between insurance companies and
insurance intermediaries which may contain premium invoice data, but regularly consist of other data
(e.g. commissions) which are not part of a regular invoice.

Several business parties are involved in the process of an electronic premium invoice (see Figure 1).
The following parties are the main stakeholders of the business process “premium invoicing”:
— Insurance company;
— Insurance intermediary;
— Premium payer.
In EN 16931-1, describing the core elements of the electronic invoice, the issuer of an invoice is called
the “Seller” and the receiver of an invoice is called the “Buyer”.
Figure 1 — Parties involved in invoicing
4.2 Requirements for the data of an electronic premium invoice on document level
An electronic invoice described in EN 16931-1 is structured in the document level, which consists of the
data of the invoice as a whole (e.g. invoice number and total amounts), and the line level, which contains
the details of the invoiced items.
Each requirement is given a requirement ID in the form of R+number. In Table 1 the requirements are
allocated to the data elements reflecting the requirement ID.
The following requirements for the data of an electronic premium invoice on document level are
identified:
— R1 An invoice number shall be provided to identify uniquely the premium invoice.
— R2 The date shall be provided when the premium invoice was issued.
— R3 The type of the premium invoice shall specify whether it is a regular invoice to be paid by the
premium payer or a credit note with a credit to the premium payer.
— R4 The currency shall be specified in which all amounts of the premium invoice are given.
— R5 A payment due date may be provided for the premium invoice. The payment due date is not
mandatory if the premium payer knows the due date of the invoice from other sources, for example
the insurance policy document.
— R6 The payment due date is mandatory if the invoice amount is debited from the account of the
premium payer by means of a SEPA direct debit mandate. In this case the payment due date is the
date when the invoice amount is debited from the account of the premium payer.

contact identifier, department or office identifier).
— R8 The identification, the policy number, shall be specified to identify the insurance policy to which
the invoice relates.
— R9 In case of an open cover insurance policy the insurance client declares each individual risk
which is insured under the open cover contract. In this case a premium invoice is normally related
to a specific individual risk declaration. Therefore an identifier of the individual risk declaration
should be provided in the premium invoice.
— R10 If the premium invoice relates to a specific class of business or insurance product of the
insurance policy, the name or an identifier of this class of business or insurance product shall be
provided.
— R11 Optionally a reference identifier issued by the premium payer for the insurance policy may be

— R33 For external documents the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) shall be specified.
— R34 Embedded documents shall be transmitted as part of the electronic premium invoice.
— R35 Information about the details of the premium invoice on line level shall be provided which
includes information about the invoiced premium per insured person or insured object and/or per

4.3 Requirements for the data describing the issuer of the premium invoice
The issuer of a premium invoice is either an insurance company if the premium is collected by the
insurance company or an insurance intermediary if the premium is collected by the insurance
intermediary.
In EN 16931-1, describing the core elements of the electronic invoice, the issuer of an invoice is called
the “seller”. This document follows the naming of EN 16931-1 to support a clear mapping of the
insurance requirements to the core elements of the electronic invoice.
Therefore in the premium invoice the “seller” is either an insurance company or an insurance
intermediary.
The following requirements for the data of the seller in a premium invoice are identified:
— R36 The name of the seller shall be provided.
— R37 Optionally the seller may be identified by one or multiple identifiers each uniquely identifying
the seller in a specified identification scheme.
— R38 Optionally the seller may be identified by a legal registration identifier.
— R39 Optionally a tax registration identifier regarding insurance tax may be provided. If the seller is
an insurance company, this is the insurance tax registration identifier of the insurance company. If
the seller is an insurance intermediary, the insurance tax registration identifier of the insurance
intermediary is only required when the intermediary transfers the insurance tax directly to the tax
authorities.
— R40 If the seller is an insurance intermediary, the name and insurance tax registration identifier of
the insurance company shall be mentioned on the invoice in certain legislations. In this case, if the
insurance contract is shared between several insurance companies (i.e. in coinsurance), the names
and insurance tax registration identifiers of all insurance companies shall be mentioned on the
invoice.
— R41 Optionally the electronic address of the seller may be provided to which the application level
response to the invoice may be delivered.

4.4 Requirements for the data describing the premium payer of the premium invoice
The receiver of a premium invoice is the premium payer who is normally, but not in all cases, the
insurance client.
In EN 16931-1, the receiver of an invoice is called the “buyer”. This document follows the naming of
EN 16931-1 to support a clear mapping of the insurance requirements to the core elements of the
electronic invoice.
Therefore in the premium invoice the “buyer” is the premium payer.
The following requirements for the data of the buyer in a premium invoice are identified:
— R46 The name of the buyer shall be provided.
— R47 Optionally the buyer may be identified by an identifier which uniquely identifies the buyer in
the system of the seller.

instructions are included in a concrete premium invoice the following detailed requirements are
identified:
— R54 A payment means type code shall be specified for how a payment is expected to be or has been
settled, such as cash, payment transfer, direct debit, credit or debit card, or other payment
instruments.
— R55 Additional textual information for the payment means may be provided.
— R56 Remittance information may be provided which is a textual value issued by the seller that the
buyer should use in the payment order to establish a link between the payment and the invoice.
Commonly this information is the invoice number perhaps in combination with other references,
e.g. the policy number.
— R57 In case of a payment transfer the payment account identifier at a payment service provider
shall be specified to which payment should be made, such as IBAN or bank account identifier.
— R58 In case of a payment transfer the name of the payment account at a payment service provider
may be provided.
— R59 In case of a payment transfer the identifier of the payment service provider, where a payment
account is located, may be specified, such as a BIC or a national clearing code.
— R60 In case of a payment by credit or debit card the card account number shall be specified.
— R61 In case of a payment by credit or debit card the name of the card holder may be provided.

5 Mapping of the data elements of an electronic premium invoice to the core
elements of the electronic invoice described in EN 16931-1
5.1 Introduction
The mapping of the data elements of an electronic premium invoice to the core elements of the
electronic invoice are specified in 5.2 in Table 1. This table is a subset of Table 2 in EN 16931-1:2017
+A1:2019 . The columns “ID”, “Level”, “Cardinality”, and “Business Term” are direct copies of Table 2 in
EN 16931-1:2017 +A1:2019 .
The two columns “Req” and “Insurance Requirement” in Table 1 of this document are additions to
Table 2 in EN 16931-1:2017+A1:2019 . These columns specify the mapping of the requirements of an
insurance premium invoice to the electronic invoice standardized in EN 16931-1.
The column “Req” refers to the identifiers “Rnn” of the premium invoice requirements specified in
Clause 4.
The column “Insurance Requirement” contains descriptions for the mapping of an insurance premium
invoice.
Table 1 of this document does not include all rows, i.e. invoice data elements, of Table 2 in EN 16931-
1:2017+A1:2019 because invoice data elements not applicable for premium invoices are not shown in
Table 1.
