Comply with E-invoicing Regulations in Germany
Starting January 1, 2025, German companies will be mandated to receive e-invoices, aligning with the B2G sector’s practices. Presently, no centralized portal was appointed by the German government. However, the Peppol network facilitates invoice exchange, ensuring efficient data transfer, even for bulk uploads.
Send & Receive E-invoices in Germany
Receiving e-invoices: Starting January 2025, all businesses will be required to be able to receive electronic invoices.
Sending e-invoices: From January 2027, all companies with an annual turnover exceeding EUR 800,000 will be mandated to send e-invoices. Finally, by January 2028, this will apply to all companies, regardless of size.
Invoice Archiving
German law mandates the long-term archiving of e-invoices for ten years. Businesses must ensure the archived invoices are retrievable in a verifiable and auditable format.
Decentralized E-Invoicing System
Germany’s decentralized B2G e-invoicing system complicates the implementation of a unified B2B billing system. Although a federal portal (E-Rechnungs-Portal) exists, its usage varies among states, with some using it, others having their own portals, and some lacking any portal altogether.
Invoice Formats
The most widely used formats are XRechnung and ZUGFeRD, both offering structured data embedded within a PDF for human readability. Other established formats like XML and EDIFACT are also accepted, as long as they adhere to the standard EN 16931 requirements for data exchange.
