This is What the New E-invoicing Obligation for Germany Could Look Like

  • Germany plans to make e-invoicing mandatory, with a transition period from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2027.
  • From January 1, 2026, companies will be required to issue electronic invoices for VAT-taxed transactions.
  • The obligation will apply when issuers and recipients of invoices are based in Germany and will not apply to B2C transactions or those exempt from VAT.
  • Mandatory e-invoices will have to comply with CEN’s format.
  • The use of e-bills is a prerequisite for the introduction of transaction-related reporting of sales in the B2B area.
  • Political discussions have included the desire for a central, state-owned platform and free access to the portal for small and medium-sized enterprises.
