Data update in preparation for regulatory changes

In Germany, compliance with e-invoicing is being rolled out gradually. As of January 2025, all businesses with a VAT number are required to accept electronic invoices in a structured format. Furthermore, issuing electronic invoices for B2B transactions will become mandatory for large enterprises (those with a turnover of €800,000 or more) from January 2027, and for all businesses by January 2028.

Legal purposes

In line with Directive 2014/55/EU, e-invoicing is being implemented across EU Member States.

On 15 October 2024, Germany’s Federal Ministry of Finance (Bundesministerium der Finanzen – BMF) published the final version of its guidelines for issuing invoices under Article 14 of the German Value Added Tax Act (UStG). These guidelines also address the phased implementation of mandatory e-invoicing for domestic B2B transactions.
