How do eInvoices work?

Receive, transmit, and process electronic invoices seamlessly and automatically. It is an eInvoice if the invoice content is available electronically in a structured XML format.

When will eInvoices become mandatory?

Since November 27, 2020, invoice issuers are required to send send invoices electronically to public-sector customers. According to the draft law, eInvoices will be mandatory for B2B invoicing starting on January 1, 2025, although transitional rules could apply.

Is a PDF invoice an eInvoice?

A PDF invoice is a digital copy of a paper invoice and is therefore not an eInvoice according to the new definition. Because a PDF does not meet the format requirements for an eInvoice, it falls in the category of “other invoice”.
