EU – Update on e-invoicing time frame

A few countries have recently update their position on the implementation of the e-invoicing. Listed below are the latest updates:

• Croatia has requested a EU derogation to mandate B2B e-invoicing from 1st January 2026.
• Germany has proposed a delay of mandatory e-invoicing from 2026 to 2027.
• Slovenia is also delaying the introduction of e-invoicing, as the draft law indicates a 12-month notice period once the bill is approved, implying no introduction before 2025.
