eInvoicing code lists and validation artefacts updated

The European Commission announces the first update in 2024 of the eInvoicing code lists and the release of the EN 16931 validation artefacts v1.3.12.

The eInvoicing code lists are the lists of codes that are used in electronic invoicing to define specific business terms. The two code lists are the Electronic Address Scheme (EAS) code list and the VAT exemption reason code list (VATEX). The release of the code lists update further enhances electronic invoicing and encourages a harmonised approach among stakeholders. The update is part of the services provided by the DIGITAL eInvoicing Building Block. This update contains two additional VATEX codes for France, and they are available for download on the DIGITAL website. The details of the release of the EN 16931 validation artefacts can be found here.



You can submit Requests for Change to the code lists directly through the Service Desk. Stay informed about each registry update by enabling notifications following the instructions at the bottom of the dedicated eInvoicing User Community page. The next update of code lists and validation artefacts is foreseen for Autumn 2024 as per its regular scheduled release.
