E-Invoicing

From 2027, structured e-invoices in XML format (e.g. XRechnung, ZUGFeRD) will be mandatory for businesses in Germany – a PDF file on its own does not count as an e-invoice. Use is mandatory for businesses with an annual turnover exceeding €800,000; smaller businesses will follow in 2028.

The e-invoice must be machine-readable and comply with the law in accordance with Section 14 of the German Value Added Tax Act (UStG). Start implementing this now and make use of the integration with your CRM.

Structured e-invoice format

The full E-Invoicing requirement comes into force

A structured data format means that the contents of an invoice – such as amounts, taxes or the service period – are presented digitally and, above all, in a machine-readable format using standardised XML. Unlike with PDF invoices, this data can be automatically read and processed by accounting software. For businesses, this means: less manual work, fewer errors and a future-proof invoicing process.

The switch to e-invoicing is a one-off step required to meet legal requirements – once completed, the process is standardised. It is worth combining this transition with the introduction of a digital document management system, or implementing e-invoicing in such a way that future automation is more easily achievable. This not only ensures legal certainty but also lays an important foundation for more efficient workflows.
