Multiple public and private platforms available. Although the implementation deadline for B2G eInvoicing for all public authorities in the Netherlands is April 18th 2019, the central government announced that, from January 1st 2017, all central government suppliers can only submit invoices electronically for every new procurement contract. The Dutch government had already implemented part of the Directive 2010/45/EU in national law in 2012 (Implementation of the Billing rules Directive of 15 March 2012), simplifying rules in the field of billing regarding the levying of VAT and harmonizing the requirements for the invoicing and eInvoicing. The central government provides a central hub for exchange of messages, including eInvoices, with the contracting authorities in the Netherlands (B2G, B2C). This hub is the primary eInvoicing portal used by central government and their suppliers. It is managed by Logius, which is a department of the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations. Simplerinvoicing was established by private parties in cooperation with the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate. It is not a service provider as such but it is a set of agreements between eInvoicing service providers and accounting service providers, which enable the exchange of invoices between these parties. Simplerinvoicing is the Dutch PEPPOL Authority. Economic operators can submit eInvoices in three ways: Once received by public entities, the processing of eInvoices is carried out in a semi-automated way. The processing of eInvoices by public entities depends on the maturity of their levels of automation and IT systems. Some agencies process eInvoices automatically; others manually. Public entities in the Netherlands are able to receive eInvoices in three formats: To meet the European eInvoicing deadline the Dutch government created a Unit Invoicing at the Public Procurement Expertise Centre (PIANOo). PIANOo was set up to professionalise the Dutch procurement and tendering process in all government departments. The Dutch government procures around €73 billion worth of work, services and supplies every year and a standardised electronic procurement, based on the European standard on eInvoicing, aims to ensure quality in government services and a sustainable market. PIANOo’s tasks are to support local government to implement eInvoicing. The Connecting European Facility (CEF) played an inspirational role in how they set-up their organisation and defined the services they provide to their stakeholders.
