Press Release | March, 2025
E-facturatie, ben je er klaar voor?
E-invoicing is no longer the future, it’s the present, and it’s transforming global business. The European Union is moving toward making e-invoicing mandatory for cross-border transactions by 2030. Meanwhile, member states are already rolling out their own regulations to prepare. Digital invoicing is becoming the global standard. Businesses worldwide must adapt to stay competitive and compliant. The shift is happening; is your business ready? 

The Global Shift Toward Digital Compliance

It all began in Italy in 2014. The country introduced mandatory e-invoicing for suppliers to the public sector. With this, Italy aimed to reduce tax evasion and improve government efficiency. This move sparked a wave of adoption across Europe. 

The EU implemented Directive 2014/55/EU to standardize e-invoicing in public procurement. What began as a way to streamline government processes and reduce fraud has grown into a wider movement. E-invoicing is now spreading into the private sector, transforming business operations across Europe. The benefits are clear: reduced fraud, faster transactions, and increased efficiency. 

Now, in 2025, e-invoicing is no longer optional for many businesses in Europe. It’s becoming a legal requirement for B2G transactions, with more businesses adopting it for B2B as well. For companies across Europe, the real question is not if they’ll make the change but how they can do it smoothly and efficiently. 
As e-invoicing grows across Europe, businesses need to see it as more than a regulatory requirement. It’s also an opportunity to improve Finance operations. The switch to digital invoicing brings big benefits. These include fewer errors, less fraud, and faster payments. At Klippa, we help businesses simplify this transition. Our solutions ensure compliance with e-invoicing requirements and further streamline the P2P process. By adopting e-invoicing now, you will be seen as a leader instead of a laggard

Navigating the Challenges of E-Invoicing Compliance

While the shift to e-invoicing offers numerous benefits, businesses across Europe face several challenges in adapting to these new requirements. One of the main hurdles is the complexity of varying regulations across countries, with each nation setting its own timelines and technical standards.

Companies must invest in technology to integrate e-invoicing into their existing systems and ensure they remain compliant with evolving regulations. There can also be resistance to change within organizations, particularly for smaller businesses that may lack the resources to manage the transition. Overcoming these obstacles requires careful planning, investment in the right tools, and ongoing training to ensure smooth implementation.
