European E-Invoicing Service Providers Association (EESPA) position on German mandate

In April 2023, via the publication of a discussion paper, Germany unveiled its plans for an e-invoicing and e-reporting mandate. General consensus surrounding the mandate has been positive, with major organisations are now coming forward in support of Germany’s mandate plans.   

The European e-invoicing service providers association, EESPA is one such organisation strongly advocating the 2-tiered e-invoicing and e-reporting approach. In addition, it supports the typical associated measures with e-invoicing, such as reduced frequency of errors, cost-saving measures, automation, etc.   

Germany is a critical, compliant territory for Kofax and we are closely monitoring the mandate. We are expecting to hear further information around the mandate from the German tax authorities at the end of June 2023 and will analyse this information once available.
