VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA)

The European Commission’s VAT in the Digital Age proposal is the biggest reform to VAT regulations in years. It is aimed at modernising the system to prevent VAT fraud as more and more business transactions take place online. 

ViDA applies to any business that sells goods or services to customers in the EU, regardless of where that business is located. Many measures are already in place in various countries, with more coming in over the coming years

It is based around the following:

  • Digital Reporting Requirements (DRR): By 2030 (proposed), cross-border B2B transactions within the EU will likely require real-time digital reporting.
  • E-Invoicing Standardisation: E-invoicing will become the default system for issuing invoices, superseding paper.
  • Interoperability: Reliance on the European standard (EN 16931) is central to ensuring systems across member states can “speak” to one another.

Why It Matters

Compliance

E-invoicing is becoming mandatory across Europe and Latin America

A digital trail

Electronic signatures on invoices are required in many countries, including Spain

Reducing fraud

These changes aim to reduce VAT fraud and enforce transactional transparency

Country-by-country Regulatory Summaries

How are e-invoicing regulations being enforced across Europe?

Austria is a veteran in B2G (business-to-government) e-invoicing. It’s been mandatory at a federal level since 2014, and regionally since 2020. Businesses can use the national e-Rechnung portal or the Peppol network to transmit and exchange invoices. At the moment, B2B e-invoicing is voluntary, although encouraged. 

Austria also imposes strict archiving rules (the Bundesabgabenordnung or Federal Fiscal Code). Even if a document is sent via email, the digital proof of origin and integrity must be preserved for seven years.

Key dates:

  • January 2026 – potential alignment with EU ViDA initiatives for B2B

Belgium is implementing mandatory B2B e-invoicing from 1 January 2026. This aligns with the ViDA initiative to close the VAT gap. It requires invoices to be structured using the Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 format, generated via approved software or service providers, and transmitted via the Peppol network. From this date, paper and PDF invoices will no longer be accepted for B2B transactions. 

The Belgian e-invoicing mandate targets all VAT taxpayers simultaneously, unlike some countries that have phased it in by company size. 

Key Dates:

  • 1 Jan 2026 – mandatory B2B e-invoicing for all VAT-registered companies (however, they will allow a three-month grace period for businesses to onboard without fines being issued)
  • 1 Jan 2028 – planned real-time reporting implementation.

Croatia’s model is heavily focused on fiscal reporting. B2G e-invoicing has been mandatory since 2019 via the Servis eRačun za državu. The  “Fiscalisation 2.0” project will see B2B e-invoicing follow suit from 1 January 2026, with B2C e-invoicing becoming mandatory in 2027. This project aims to reduce the administrative burden on businesses and link the invoice exchange directly with the Tax Administration to prevent tax evasion in real-time.

Key Dates:

  • 1 Jan 2026 – mandatory B2B e-invoicing.

France has delayed its reform until 1st September 2026, when mandatory B2B e-invoicing and e-reporting roll out. They will use a unique “Y-model” where companies can either connect directly to the public portal (portail public de facturation  or PPF) or use a certified private provider (plateform de dématérialisation partenaire or PDP) to transmit and manage invoices.  

Key Dates:

  • 1 Sept 2026 – mandatory receipt for all; mandatory issuance for Large and Mid-sized companies.
  • 1 Sept 2027 – mandatory issuance for SMEs and micro-enterprises.

Germany has set a clear timeline for B2B e-invoicing, driven by the Wachstumschancengesetz (Growth Opportunities Act). From 1 January 2025, all companies must be able to receive structured invoices compliant with EN 16931. The obligation to issue them comes later, wth full compliance required by 1 January 2028. During the transition period, paper invoices may still be used if the recipient agrees, but the “priority” will shift to digital. Accepted invoice formats will include XRechnung and ZUGFeRD.

Key Dates:

  • 1 Jan 2027 – mandatory issuance for companies with turnover > €800k.
  • 1 Jan 2028 – full B2B mandatory issuance for all.

B2G invoicing has been mandatory since 2023. B2B e-invoicing has been mandatory since July 2025. For the private sector, Greece uses the myDATA platform for real-time digital bookkeeping. 

Before an invoice is sent to the customer, Greek regulations require e-invoices to be marked with a unique identifier (UID) and a QR code obtained from the tax authority (AADE).

Ireland currently complies with EU Directive 2014/55/EU, which means public bodies can receive Peppol invoices, however there is no mandate for suppliers to issue them. There is also no mandate with regard to B2B transactions. 

 

The Irish Revenue Commission are in the process of consulting on “VAT Modernisation”, which it is thought will lead to a real-time reporting system, similar to other EU member states. However, Ireland will adopt a gradual approach to this.

Key Dates:

  • 1 July 2030 – Expected alignment with EU ViDA cross-border reporting.

B2G e-invoicing has been mandatory since 2017, and the system transitioned to SABIS in 2024. B2B e-invoicing is not yet mandatory, but the country is preparing for a 2028 rollout.  

Lithuania uses the i.MAS (Smart Tax Administration System) which includes i.SAF (reporting of invoice registers). In order to be compliant, businesses must link invoice data to these reporting subsystems.

Key Dates:

  • 2028 TBC – rollout of B2C e-invoicing

Luxembourg has been fully compliant with B2G e-invoicing since 2023. Transactions are mainly managed through the Peppol network. When it comes to tax audits, Luxembourg often requests FAIA files (Standard Audit File for Tax) – while not e-invoicing per se, any e-invoicing solutions should generate data in compatible formats with the FAIA exports.

B2G e-invoicing has been mandatory since 2020 via Peppol. There is no specific national portal for direct entry – everything must go via a Peppol Access Point.

Because Malta relies on the decentralised Peppol network, rather than a central government portal, it makes using a provider such as B2Brouter a technical necessity for government suppliers.

Norway is something of a pioneer in e-invoicing. Although not in the EU, their regulations align almost perfectly with EU standards (EEA). B2G e-invoicing is mandatory and uses the EHF format, which is an adaptation of the Peppol BIS format. It’s virtually identical to Peppol, which makes cross-border transactions with EU neighbours such as Sweden and Denmark easy.

B2G e-invoicing is mandatory for Central Government (and conducted via Digipoort). In B2B, it is widespread due to efficiency, although it is not yet legally mandated by tax law.  

The Netherlands uses a network of software providers called Simplerinvoicing that facilitate Peppol exchange. B2Brouter is a member of this network. If you invoice the Dutch government, you must use OIN (Organisatie-identificatienummer) identifiers for routing.

B2G e-invoicing has been mandatory in Spain since 2015, via FACe, and now Spain is introducing a dual e-invoicing mandate:

  • The “Crea y Crece” Law – bringing in mandatory B2B e-invoicing
  • “Anti-fraud Law” (VeriFactu) – relating to software compliance

It’s important to distinguish between the two laws. While Crea y Crece requires the sending of the e-invoice to the client via a connected platform, VeriFactu ensures that any software used is able to prevent record tampering (sending data to tax authorities is voluntary unless requested).

Key Dates:

  • 1 Jan 2026 (VeriFactu) – Companies must use certified billing software (generating unalterable records).
  • B2B Mandate – Likely mid-to-late 2025 or 2026 (dependent on final technical regulation publication).
