The EU Commission Announces Plans to Revise E-Invoicing Rules for Public Procurement
- EU Initiative to Revise E-Invoicing Directive: On November 19, 2025, the EU Commission announced plans to revise Directive 2014/55/EU, aiming to create a more cohesive and interoperable digital invoicing environment across Member States to improve public procurement processes.
- Addressing Fragmentation and Compliance: The revision seeks to tackle existing challenges such as market fragmentation, diverse national practices, and uneven adoption of e-invoicing standards by introducing uniform requirements for e-invoices, extending coverage to certain B2G transactions, and standardizing transmission methods.
- Expected Benefits and Consultation Process: The proposed changes are intended to enhance interoperability, reduce compliance costs, and streamline procurement processes. Currently in the consultation phase, feedback is being gathered until December 17, 2025, with a public consultation and formal adoption of the revised rules planned for Q4 2026.
