CEF eInvoicing Publishes Updated Country Factsheets


The European Commission has published updated Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) eInvoicing country factsheets. The factsheets have been prepared and updated thanks to close cooperation with Member State experts in the European Multi-Stakeholder Forum on eInvoicing (EMSFEI).

Every European country has a unique approach to dealing with eInvoicing. Each country factsheet provides a useful and regularly updated guide to Member States’ policy frameworks, eInvoicing platforms (if existing) and approach for receiving and processing eInvoices.

                                  

The updated country factsheets also highlight the great efforts made by central, regional and local authorities in transposing Directive 2014/55/EU (on eInvoicing in public procurement) into national law.

The Directive called for the creation of a European standard on eInvoicing. The standard makes it possible for sellers to send invoices to many customers by using a single eInvoicing format and thus not have to adjust their sending and/or receiving to connect with individual trading parties.
