- The German Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) issued a letter on September 17, 2025, regarding the issuance of invoices and the use of mandatory invoice details in other EU official languages. Following coordination with state financial authorities, certain invoice details can use terms from other EU languages as per Article 226 of the VAT Directive. The VAT Application Decree has been updated to include these changes, with specific amendments to sections 14.5 and 14a.1, and the addition of Appendix 8.
