- The German government has been working to create a more efficient and less bureaucratic business environment by reducing administrative burdens and costs.
- One of the challenges was the inefficient invoicing system, which led to the implementation of mandatory e-invoicing in public procurement transactions.
- The EU Commission proposed changes to the VAT Directive, and the German government was given the green light to introduce mandatory B2B e-invoicing between businesses in the country from January 1, 2025, until December 31, 2027, or until the Member States apply any national provisions based on the amended VAT Directive.
