The implementation of regulations that seek the adoption of electronic invoicing is progressing well throughout Europe, particularly in the context of B2B and B2G transactions.
The implementation of B2B electronic invoicing in Belgium is now a reality. Following a period of several months, the mandatory use of structured electronic invoicing has been implemented for virtually all transactions between Belgian companies that are subject to VAT, with effect from 1 January 2026.
The use of electronic invoicing has significantly increased in Europe in recent years. Several countries have implemented invoicing systems to optimize their processes and reduce the VAT gap.
SERES has released an extensive analysis on B2B electronic invoicing in the European landscape for 2023. The report showcases that various countries are set to integrate e-invoicing into inter-business transactions within the next three years. These include Romania, Poland, France, Greece, Latvia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Croatia, Spain, Germany, and Belgium.
The incorporation of e-invoicing is a crucial part of the digital transformation of nations. Its widespread adoption has become a global phenomenon, particularly in the Oceania region in recent years.
