Germany to introduce mandatory B2B e-invoicing and reporting from January 2025

29 November 2024

In November, Germany’s Ministry of Finance (BMF) published a new Frequently Asked Questions regarding the first phase of its e-invoicing mandate, which begins on 1 January 2025.

This new requirement applies to resident businesses selling to other VAT-registered businesses within Germany. Under the mandate, businesses will report their sales to the German tax authorities via a new e-invoicing platform rather than sending invoices directly to their customers.

The goal of this invoice-reporting regime is to combat VAT fraud by providing tax authorities with real-time visibility into when VAT is charged and collected.
