Details and caveats
No sending mandate for suppliers in B2G, B2B or B2C. Directive 2014/55/EU was transposed by Legal Notices 403 and 404 of 2018 (published 30 Nov 2018): central contracting authorities must be able to receive and process EN 16931 e-invoices for procurement above EU thresholds (the effective date of this receiving obligation is not stated in the fetched source, so no timeline date is shown). There is no central e-invoicing platform; Peppol is used. Malta is studying e-invoicing and real-time reporting for B2B, B2G and B2C in view of ViDA (no dates). EC factsheet last updated Aug 2025.
