E-Invoicing

From 2027 onwards, structured e-invoices in XML format (e.g., XRechnung, ZUGFeRD) will be mandatory for companies in Germany – a PDF file alone will no longer qualify as an e-invoice. For businesses with annual revenue exceeding €800,000, usage will be mandatory from 2027, with smaller companies following in 2028.

The e-invoice must be machine-readable and compliant with legal requirements under § 14 of the German VAT Act (UStG). Implement this now and take advantage of seamless integration into your CRM.

Structured Format of the E-Invoice

Full E-Invoicing Obligation Is Coming

A structured data format means that invoice contents – such as amounts, taxes, or service periods – are represented digitally in a standardized XML format and, most importantly, in a machine-readable way. Unlike PDF invoices, this data can be automatically read and processed by accounting software. For companies, this means less manual work, fewer errors, and a future-proof invoice exchange.

Switching to e-invoicing is a one-time step to comply with legal requirements – after that, the process becomes standardized. It is worthwhile to combine this transition with the introduction of a digital document management system or to implement e-invoicing in a way that facilitates future automation. This not only ensures legal compliance but also lays an important foundation for more efficient workflows.
