What Germany requires
In force
In Germany, recipients have had to accept and process e-invoices since 1 January 2025; there is no general obligation to send them; a legislated step follows from 1 January 2027.
Formats: XRechnung, ZUGFeRD, Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, EN 16931 (UBL 2.1 / CII). Network: No mandated network for B2B; for B2G, ZRE / OZG-RE platforms with Leitweg-ID routing and Peppol.
- 1 January 2027 — B2B: Transition ends for issuers with prior-year turnover above EUR 800,000: they must issue e-invoices (paper and other formats allowed for all issuers only until 31 Dec 2026)
- 1 January 2028 — B2B: Transition ends for all issuers (prior-year turnover up to EUR 800,000) and for EDI procedures that do not meet the e-invoice definition: e-invoicing mandatory for all domestic B2B supplies
