CEF eInvoicing Country Sheets: an Updated Overview of B2G eInvoicing in Public Procurement in Europe
European Commission, 2017
Mass adoption of electronic invoicing (eInvoicing) within the EU leads to significant economic benefits and an increase in European business competitiveness. Supported by European legislation, acceptance of eInvoices by governments will make it easier to do business with the public sector.
Every EU Member State (and additional EEA countries) has a unique approach to dealing with eInvoicing. For each country you can now have updated information on CEF Digital 2018 about their eInvoicing policy framework, the eInvoicing platform(s) used to exchange eInvoices in the B2G context (if existing), eInvoicing standards in use as well as the approach for receiving and processing electronic invoices.
eInvoicing is the exchange of an electronic invoice document between a supplier and a buyer. An eInvoice is an invoice that has been issued, transmitted and received in a structured electronic format which allows for its automatic and electronic processing, as defined in Directive 2014/55/EU.
Please find here the first batch of country sheets on the state of B2G eInvoicing in Europe. Stay tuned for regular updates and additional information!
The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) eInvoicing building block will be presented at the high-level event 'Connecting Europe with Building Blocks: Making the Digital Single Market a Reality'.
The main objective of this important event is to showcase concrete examples of how the CEF building blocks (eDelivery, eInvoicing, eID, eSignature and eTranslation) successfully contribute to creating a Digital Single Market.
