After the Growth Opportunities Act, including the e-invoicing obligation, was sent to the mediation committee and a postponement of two years was discussed, it is now clear: electronic invoicing will be mandatory from 2025 as planned. On 22 March 2024, the Federal Council approved the corresponding draft law.
What does this mean?
From 1 January 2025, German companies will be obliged to issue e-invoices for taxable B2B transactions. This affects all companies based in Germany, including small businesses.
Are there any exceptions?
Only invoices up to 250 euros and tickets are exempt. Transitional regulations in 2026 and 2027 only apply in certain cases and only if the invoice recipient agrees to the different procedure.
