B2B e-invoicing in Germany
With compulsory B2B e-invoicing on the horizon in Germany, learn what's expected of your business and how Pagero can help you prepare for the changes ahead of time.
Mandatory B2B e-invoicing on the path to adoption in Germany
Since 2020, e-invoicing for B2G transactions has been a requirement in Germany. By approving the Growth Opportunities Act (Wachstumschancengesetz), the Federal Council is now paving the way for the introduction of mandatory electronic invoicing in the B2B sector too. The changeover is to take place in two phases from January 2025. As a baseline, German businesses would be required to have the capacity to receive e-invoices by this date. This means that businesses would need to adopt technological solutions such as Pagero's that enable the secure and legally compliant management of genuine e-invoices by the close of this year.
