- On February 13, 2026, the EU adopted a revision to the e-invoicing standard (EN 16931-1), expanding its scope from B2G to B2B transactions.
- The revision aligns with the VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) project, mandating full intra-EU B2B e-invoicing interoperability and near real-time digital reporting.
- The update includes a new core semantic data model for B2B, updated syntax bindings, and an extension methodology for industry-specific needs.
- The changes aim to clarify invoice semantics and ensure consistent e-invoicing implementation across sectors and Member States.
