Overview of e-invoicing regulations:
- On January 1, 2025, Germany introduced the obligation for all B2B companies to be able to receive and process e-invoices.
- Since the beginning of the year, traditional PDF invoices and paper invoices no longer meet the legal requirements for e-invoices.
- Electronic invoices must be created in a defined, digital format, such as the XRechnung invoice format, the EDI process and the ZUGFeRD invoice.
- According to the DIN EN 16931 standard, these e-invoices must contain more extensive details than traditional invoice formats.
- There are transition periods for sending e-invoices (outgoing invoices) until December 31, 2027.
Legal background at the European level:
- As part of the ViDA initiative (“VAT in the Digital Age”), the EU Commission intends to introduce an additional electronic reporting system (VAT), which is to be populated with data from e-invoices.
- The goal of the measures is to simplify the VAT system and, above all, to combat fraud.
- All EU countries are therefore required to implement the directive into national law.
