Germany e-Invoicing System
Electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) is a type of invoice that is created, transmitted, and received in a structured electronic format, enabling automated processing.
The e-invoicing system facilitates legal tracking of invoices, enhancing commercial transparency and security. It also contributes significantly to environmental sustainability by reducing paper consumption.
According to the regulation enacted by the German legislature, the use of e-invoicing is mandatory for all business-to-business (B2B) transactions.
As of January 1, 2025, all companies engaged in B2B activities in Germany must be able to receive and process e-invoices.
