The German Federal Ministry of Finance has published its finalized Guidelines for Introducing Mandatory E-Invoicing. In doing so, the obligation to issue invoices electronically from January 1, 2025 is being progressively implemented. The new regulations apply to all B2B transactions between domestic companies and represent a significant step towards digitizing and simplifying billing processes.

The release of the new ZUGFeRD version 2.3 in September 2024 represents a crucial step towards improving and harmonizing e-invoices. As a leading provider of e-invoicing solutions, Retarus welcomes the updates and supports companies in benefiting fully from the opportunities offered by the new standard.
