ESTABLISH & OPTIMIZE E-INVOICING PROCESSES

Digitalization is revolutionizing numerous business processes, and electronic invoicing is a key component of this. However, the new possibilities also bring challenges for companies. Many companies are facing significant changes, particularly with regard to the upcoming e-invoicing obligation in the B2B sector in Germany from 2025. From January 1, 2025, all companies in Germany must be able to issue and receive electronic invoices in accordance with EN 16931 for business-to-business (B2B) transactions. This legal requirement aims to simplify administrative processes, minimize the error rate and increase transparency. However, the switch to e-invoicing also brings with it various challenges. Companies must adapt their IT infrastructure, implement suitable e-invoicing solutions and ensure that they comply with legal requirements.

It is therefore advisable to implement appropriate technologies for processing & creating e-invoices promptly. We support you in overcoming the hurdles of e-invoicing and fully exploiting the opportunities of digitalization. Let’s take the path to a digital future together!

MANDATORY E-INVOICING IN B2B IN GERMANY

7

From 01 / 2025: start of the e-invoicing obligation

In principle, all companies should be able to issue and receive e-invoices from 01.01.2025. However, paper invoices may continue to be sent for B2B transactions carried out in 2025 and 2026 until the end of 2026. Electronic invoices that do not comply with the new format will also remain permissible during this period. However, the consent of the invoice recipient is required for this (as before).

7

From 01 / 2027: transitional regulation

Paper invoices may continue to be sent for B2B transactions carried out in 2027 until the end of 2027. Electronic invoices that do not comply with the new format will also remain permissible during this period. However, the consent of the invoice recipient is also required for this. However, an additional requirement is that the invoice issuer does not exceed a maximum turnover of €800,000 in the previous year.

Entrepreneurs whose previous year’s turnover (2026) exceeds the limit of €800,000 still have the option of issuing invoices that are transmitted via electronic data exchange. This applies to sales carried out in 2026 or 2027, even if the required information is not extracted into a format that corresponds to or is compatible with the European standard.

7

From 01 / 2028: E-invoicing mandatory for all

From 2028, compliance with the new requirements for e-invoices and their transmission will be mandatory. Every company must send e-invoices in accordance with EN 16931.
