E-Invoicing, Deadlines Approaches!

The European Union is transitioning to B2B e-invoicing, with several countries mandating electronic B2B invoicing during 2025 – 2026. The ViDA proposal has also been approved by EU finance ministers. In the short term, ViDA allows EU countries to implement mandatory e-invoicing without prior EU consent. Longer term, around 2030, ViDA will enforce mandatory cross-border e-invoicing within the EU.

Indicative Key Dates for Mandatory B2B E-Invoicing in Europe:

• Germany: January 2025 (mandatory receipt of e-invoices)

• Estonia: July 2025 (if requested by buyer)

• Belgium: January 2026

• Latvia: January 2026

• Poland: February 2026

• France: September 2026

• Spain: 2026

• Germany: January 2027 (mandatory sending of e-invoices)

In general, the e-invoicing mandates means that the Invoice is transforming from a commercial document to also serve as a legal document. Sub One are Ready to Help You Prepare .
