From January 1st<\/sup> 2025, companies in the B2B sector will have to implement new requi\u00adre\u00adments for their invoices. We have sum\u00adma\u00adrized for you what the e\u2011invoicing obli\u00adga\u00adtion means in concrete terms. Right up front: with Insiders and our stan\u00addar\u00addized solutions for modern invoice exchange and highly efficient, intel\u00adli\u00adgent invoice pro\u00adces\u00adsing, you are already well prepared for all coming changes.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=\u201eText\u201c _builder_version=\u201e4.25.2\u201c _module_preset=\u201edefault\u201c ul_line_height=\u201e0em\u201c min_height=\u201e266.8px\u201c custom_padding=\u201c||||false|false\u201c locked=\u201eoff\u201c global_colors_info=\u201c{}\u201c]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=\u201eText\u201c _builder_version=\u201e4.25.2\u201c _module_preset=\u201edefault\u201c header_font=\u201c|700|||||||\u201c header_4_letter_spacing=\u201e12px\u201c module_alignment=\u201ecenter\u201c custom_padding=\u201c||0px|||\u201c global_colors_info=\u201c{}\u201c]<\/p>\n According to the current e\u2011invoice regu\u00adla\u00adtion<\/a> (August 2024), an elec\u00adtronic invoice is an invoice that is issued, trans\u00admitted and received in a struc\u00adtured elec\u00adtronic format. This enables automatic and elec\u00adtronic document pro\u00adces\u00adsing without any problems. E\u2011invoices are therefore always primarily machine-readable. However, Insiders offers you the con\u00adve\u00adnient option of creating a human-readable visual document.<\/p>\n The struc\u00adtured elec\u00adtronic format of the e\u2011invoice must comply with the European standard for elec\u00adtronic invoicing (EN 16931<\/a>) and the syntaxes permitted in the EU directive<\/a>. These are UBL and UN\/CEFACT CII.<\/p>\n However, the legis\u00adlator also allows invoice issuers and invoice reci\u00adpi\u00adents to agree indi\u00advi\u00addu\u00adally on the format in which invoices are exchanged between them. The pre\u00adre\u00adqui\u00adsite for this method is that the format used also enables the correct and complete extra\u00adc\u00adtion of all infor\u00adma\u00adtion required by the VAT Act from the e\u2011invoice into a format that complies with the EN 16931 standard or is inter\u00adope\u00adrable with it.<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Just because you already receive an invoice elec\u00adtro\u00adni\u00adcally or send it elec\u00adtro\u00adni\u00adcally does not mean that it will be an official \u201celec\u00adtronic invoice\u201d from 01.01.2025. Starting January 1st<\/sup> 2025, all invoices in paper form or in elec\u00adtronic formats that do not meet the legal requi\u00adre\u00adments<\/a> will be con\u00adsidered \u201cother invoices\u201d. This also includes, for example, PDF invoices or emails with mandatory invoice details.<\/p>\n It is therefore important to use an efficient and flexible solution that processes both elec\u00adtronic invoices in accordance with the strict legal requi\u00adre\u00adments and \u201cother invoices\u201d fully auto\u00adma\u00adti\u00adcally for you. Avoid resource-intensive hybrid routes and rely on the Insiders solution, which combines both routes in a single system: efficient, intel\u00adli\u00adgent and resource-saving.<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n The e\u2011invoicing obli\u00adga\u00adtion in Germany currently (August 2024) only applies to tran\u00adsac\u00adtions between companies (B2B), whereby both the company providing the service and the recipient of the service must be based in Germany. Summary invoices are also subject to the e\u2011invoice obli\u00adga\u00adtion.<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n The intro\u00adduc\u00adtion of e\u2011invoicing in the B2B sector will be mandatory from 01.01.2025. However, there are tran\u00adsi\u00adtional periods (see the German VAT legis\u00adla\u00adtion<\/a>) that will make it easier for you to adapt to the new requi\u00adre\u00adments.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nThe e\u2011invoicing obli\u00adga\u00adtion sum\u00adma\u00adrized for you.<\/strong><\/h3>\n
