- Starting from January 1, 2025, companies in Germany must issue electronic invoices (E-invoices) when selling goods or providing services to other companies.
- Non-profit organizations, including associations, are also required to issue E-invoices if they provide services or products to other companies.
- Even if a non-profit organization has opted for the small business regulation for VAT, they still have to comply with the E-invoice requirement.
- There are transition periods for organizations with annual revenue below 800,000 euros, allowing them to continue issuing paper or simple digital invoices until the end of 2027.
- Non-profit organizations should prepare to receive E-invoices starting from January 1, 2025, with no transition period provided for invoice recipients.
- The Federal Ministry of Finance is expected to publish an official letter with further details in the third quarter of 2024.
