As of 1 January 2025, every B2B company in Germany must be able to receive electronic invoices – regardless of turnover. One and a half years later, the discussion has shifted: instead of focusing on the pure legal situation, in spring 2026 the focus will be on practical application, error avoidance, and the next stage of the dispatch obligation. Companies in the SME sector that do not take action now risk an onboarding backlog with IT service providers from 2027 and, in the worst-case scenario, the loss of input tax deduction.

For medium-sized companies, this means that e-invoicing is not a project for tomorrow. It is already a legal obligation.

Electronic invoicing is no longer a topic of the future, but is becoming a legal requirement in many European countries.
