Germany is preparing for the next stage of its e-invoicing and digital reporting framework as the country approaches a key B2B e-invoicing milestone in 2027.
According to the German E-Invoicing Association (VeR), the general transitional period for issuing e-invoices will end on 31 December 2026. From 1 January 2027, businesses with prior-year turnover exceeding €800,000 will generally be required to issue structured electronic invoices for covered domestic B2B transactions.
Germany is also preparing a future digital transaction reporting system. Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Finance, stated that the system is currently planned to become operational on 1 July 2030, with a voluntary pilot phase expected from early 2029.
The planned reporting system represents Germany’s next step toward more automated and digitally integrated tax processes following the rollout of mandatory B2B e-invoicing.
