- Germany has introduced the German Electronic Business Address (GEBA) as a standardized electronic identifier for businesses, mainly for e-invoicing and document routing within networks like Peppol.
- GEBA is voluntary and based on Germany’s Business Identification Number, allowing clear identification of senders and recipients, even in complex company structures.
- It enhances interoperability, accuracy, and readiness for future digital tax and reporting frameworks without changing current legal obligations.
- GEBA can be used alongside existing systems and is similar to national electronic address systems in other EU countries.
