Domestic businesses must receive structured invoices; mandatory issuance is phased by turnover through 2028.
Overview
2027–2028 issuance phases
Domestic businesses must receive structured invoices; mandatory issuance is phased by turnover through 2028.
Reporting
No domestic real-time VAT reporting obligation is attached to the current B2B rollout.
Archiving and evidence
Original structured data and a reproducible audit trail must remain available.
APIs and platforms
Federal and Länder portals; Peppol is available for automated public-sector exchange.
Common mistake
Using a visual PDF only, or ignoring differences between federal and Länder B2G routes.
D2F implementation
Business event → country rule → network → evidence
D2F selects the correct German profile and route, validates EN 16931 rules and keeps the original payload with processing evidence.
