The e-invoicing mandate is coming, are you prepared?

With Germany's Growth Opportunities Act, the structured e-invoice is becoming mandatory in B2B business step by step. A plain PDF will no longer be enough.

Since 1 January 2025: obligation to receive

Every domestic B2B company must be able to receive and process e-invoices, with no transition period.

From 1 January 2027: obligation to issue

Companies with more than €800,000 in prior-year turnover must issue e-invoices.

From 1 January 2028: mandatory for all

The obligation to issue then applies to all domestic B2B sales, regardless of annual turnover.

Details reflect the current status of Germany's Growth Opportunities Act (Wachstumschancengesetz, § 14 UStG) as of September 2026, without warranty; transitional rules may differ case by case. This is no substitute for tax advice — more on the topic in our blog article E-Invoicing Mandate: What B2B Online Sellers Need to Prepare Now.

Context

XRechnung and ZUGFeRD: what is the difference?

Both formats satisfy the European standard EN 16931, but they are structured differently.

SaleVali offers ZUGFeRD only. The comparison below is for context.

ZUGFeRD, PDF + XML

A hybrid of a visible PDF and an embedded XML data set, readable by humans and machines alike. Ideal for everyday B2B business, because your customer sees the invoice as usual. SaleVali creates your e-invoices in this format.

XRechnung, pure XML

A purely machine-readable XML format with no visible rendering, common above all when dealing with public sector buyers (B2G). SaleVali does not currently create this format – we offer ZUGFeRD only. If you need XRechnung for individual business customers, feel free to raise it with us in a demo.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about e-invoicing

What is an e-invoice?

An e-invoice is an invoice in a structured, machine-readable format such as ZUGFeRD or XRechnung per EN 16931 — not a plain PDF by email and not paper.

From when must I be able to receive and issue e-invoices?

All domestic B2B companies have had to be able to receive them since 1 January 2025. The obligation to issue follows in stages: from 2027 for companies with more than €800,000 in prior-year turnover, from 2028 for everyone. You will find details and transitional rules in our blog article on the e-invoicing mandate.

Isn't a normal PDF invoice enough?

A plain PDF will no longer count as a proper invoice in B2B business. Only the embedded structured XML, as in ZUGFeRD, makes it legally compliant.

Does SaleVali create XRechnung too?

SaleVali creates your e-invoices in the ZUGFeRD format. If you additionally need the pure XRechnung format for individual business customers, raise it with us in a demo.

Do I have to switch software?

No. If you already use SaleVali, e-invoicing is part of your existing invoicing module. Otherwise we will show you in a free demo what a switch could look like.

What does e-invoicing cost in SaleVali?

E-invoicing is part of the SaleVali invoicing module. We will discuss the exact terms for your company in a free demo, with no obligation.
