The rules

What EU e-invoicing asks of you.

Six things. Most teams underestimate the data.

A structured format

EN 16931, in UBL or CII. A PDF is not a structured invoice.

A delivery route

A Peppol access point or the national platform, depending on the country.

National mandates

Each country sets its own dates and rules. Some are already in force.

ViDA 2030

From 1 July 2030, cross-border B2B invoices inside the EU go electronic, with digital reporting.

Clean data and mapping

VAT IDs, tax categories, exemption codes and buyer references must map to the format. Bad data gets invoices rejected.

Archiving

Keep invoices in their original structured form for the legal retention period.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Not everywhere. Some countries already require structured invoices, and a PDF does not meet those rules. Under ViDA, structured e-invoicing becomes the default for intra-EU B2B from 1 July 2030.

The European standard for the core content of an electronic invoice. It is expressed in UBL or CII XML, and national formats such as XRechnung and Peppol BIS build on it.

No. Some countries require it, such as Belgium. Others use national platforms, such as KSeF in Poland or accredited platforms in France.

It depends on the country you invoice in. Pick yours in the checker to see its dates. For cross-border B2B inside the EU, ViDA applies from 1 July 2030.

Often not. An ERP connector or access point is usually enough. Check your field mapping and credit notes first; that is where most invoices fail.
