The European Commission is collecting additional feedback on the current and future needs of eInvoicing, and we want to hear from you! This initiative is undertaken in the context of the evaluation of the eInvoicing Directive 2014/55/EU. 

The survey intends to cover all stakeholders’ views on a wide variety of topics, particularly among Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), accountants and large corporations.

The eInvoicing stakeholders are invited to share their experiences and provide feedback on the following:

• synergies with other EU initiatives

The survey will be open for feedback until 📅 30 June 2023.

VAT IN THE DIGITAL AGE CONSULTATION

✒️ It's time to share your views! 🔊

THE EUROPEAN STANDARD

The European Parliament and Council adopted Directive 2014/55/EU, establishing the European standard. The recent publication of the European Standard on eInvoicing in the Official Journal of the European Union marks the beginning of the implementation phase of the standard.

The Directive mandates an 18-month implementation period after the publication of the standard, with 18 April 2019 fixed as the deadline for this.
