EU eInvoicing deadlines 2026 to 2030.
Every country. Every date. One timeline.
EU eInvoicing deadlines are now arriving faster than most finance and IT teams can track them. France goes live next month. Germany's issuance obligations phase in through 2027 and 2028. Spain's B2B mandate follows VeriFactu. And behind every national timetable sits ViDA, making structured eInvoicing mandatory for intra-EU B2B transactions from 1 July 2030. This page is the master timeline: every EU eInvoicing deadline from 2026 to 2030, country by country, updated as mandates evolve.
Bookmark it, share it with your finance team, and use it to answer the question every multinational is now asking: which of our entities are exposed, and when?
Seven countries live or imminent. Two more phasing in. One EU-wide floor arriving in 2030. And one gateway connection that covers all of it.
The per-country integration approach that worked when only Italy had a mandate collapses under this timeline. Each mandate has its own format, submission model, and update cadence. The businesses handling this well have stopped building country integrations and connected once through a maintained gateway that absorbs every deadline on this page.
The EU eInvoicing deadlines timeline: already in force
🇮🇹 Italy: SDI clearance model, fully mandatory
All B2B and B2G invoices involving Italian VAT entities pass through the SDI hub in FatturaPA format. The oldest mandate in the EU and still one of the strictest. Non-resident businesses with Italian VAT registrations have been in scope since July 2022.
🇷🇴 Romania: e-Factura, B2B then B2C
Clearance model through the ANAF SPV platform in RO_CIUS format, with a 5 working day submission deadline. B2B mandatory since July 2024, B2C since January 2025. The validated XML is the legal invoice.
🇩🇪 Germany: obligation to receive eInvoices
All German businesses must be able to receive structured eInvoices (XRechnung or ZUGFeRD EN 16931 profiles) for domestic B2B. Issuance remains permitted in other formats during the transition, with issuance mandates arriving in 2027 and 2028.
🇧🇪 Belgium: Peppol B2B mandate
Structured eInvoicing mandatory for domestic B2B between Belgian VAT-registered businesses, exchanged via the Peppol network in Peppol BIS format. The cleanest example of the decentralised exchange model.
🇪🇸 Spain: VeriFactu certified invoicing software
Hash-chained invoice records, QR codes, and optional real-time AEAT submission mandatory for corporate taxpayers since January 2026 and the self-employed since July 2026. The separate Crea y Crece B2B exchange mandate follows on its own timetable.
🇵🇱 Poland: KSeF national eInvoicing system
Mandatory B2B eInvoicing through the KSeF national platform, phased in during 2026 starting with the largest taxpayers and extending to the wider business population. Structured invoices submitted to and retrieved from the central system.
The EU eInvoicing deadlines timeline: what comes next
🇫🇷 France: reception for all, issuance for large and mid-size
Every French business must be able to receive electronic invoices through a registered platform (PDP). Large and intermediate-size businesses must also issue eInvoices and transmit e-reporting data. The biggest single go-live in EU eInvoicing history, and it is next month.
🇫🇷 France: issuance for small businesses
SMEs and micro-businesses join the issuance obligation, completing the French mandate. Any business trading with France that has not connected by this point is fully exposed.
🇩🇪 Germany: issuance mandatory for larger businesses
German businesses with turnover above the threshold must issue structured eInvoices for domestic B2B. Paper and PDF lose their transitional status for this group.
🇩🇪 Germany: issuance mandatory for all businesses
The German mandate completes: all businesses must issue structured eInvoices for domestic B2B transactions regardless of size.
🇪🇸 Spain: Crea y Crece B2B exchange mandate
Structured B2B invoice exchange through certified platforms with payment status reporting, phased by business size once the implementing decree finalises the dates. Confirmed policy with a firming timeline.
🇪🇺 ViDA: EU-wide digital reporting and eInvoicing floor
Digital reporting requirements and structured eInvoicing become mandatory for intra-EU cross-border B2B transactions across all 27 member states, with national systems converging on the EU standard by 2035. Whatever your national exposure, ViDA is the deadline that catches everyone.
The pattern in this timeline: a new mandate roughly every six months, every one with its own format and submission model.
Italy is a clearance hub with a national format. Belgium is decentralised Peppol. Romania is clearance with an EN 16931 profile. France is a registered platform model with e-reporting attached. Spain regulates the software itself. No two are alike, which is precisely why per-country point integrations become an unmanageable estate and why the gateway model has won.
You do not need seven integration projects between now and 2030. You need one connection to a gateway that absorbs all seven deadlines and every one that follows.
How to use this timeline: the 3-step exposure check
- Map your entities and VAT registrations against the timeline. Every country where you have an establishment, a VAT registration, or significant B2B customers is a row in your exposure table. The dates above tell you when each row goes live.
- Identify your nearest deadline and work backwards. For most businesses reading this in August 2026, that is France in September. Connection, testing, and customer identifier collection take weeks, not days.
- Choose an architecture that survives the whole timeline, not just the next date. A France-only fix in 2026 becomes a Germany project in 2027, a Spain project after that, and a ViDA project by 2030. One gateway connection covers the entire page.
The OasisPro EU eInvoicing Gateway covers every deadline on this page through one connection.
Italy SDI, Romania e-Factura, Poland KSeF, Belgium Peppol, France PDP connectivity, German XRechnung and ZUGFeRD, Spanish requirements, and ViDA readiness, all from one middleware connection to any ERP: SAP, Oracle, Odoo, IFS Cloud, Dynamics, NetSuite, or any other. Mandate updates are included in the service, so this timeline becomes OasisPro's problem instead of yours.

What is the next major EU eInvoicing deadline?
The next major EU eInvoicing deadline is France on 1 September 2026, when all French businesses must be able to receive electronic invoices through registered platforms and large and mid-size businesses must issue them with e-reporting attached. Small French businesses follow with issuance obligations on 1 September 2027, and Germany's issuance mandates phase in during 2027 and 2028.
Which EU countries already have mandatory eInvoicing?
As of August 2026: Italy (SDI, since 2019), Romania (e-Factura, fully mandatory across B2B and B2C), Poland (KSeF, phased in during 2026), Belgium (Peppol B2B, since January 2026), and Spain (VeriFactu certified software rules, since January and July 2026). Germany has required all businesses to be able to receive structured eInvoices since January 2025.
What is the ViDA 2030 deadline?
Under the EU VAT in the Digital Age package, digital reporting requirements and structured eInvoicing become mandatory for intra-EU cross-border B2B transactions from 1 July 2030, with existing national systems required to converge with the EU standard by 2035. ViDA is the floor that applies to every business trading across EU borders regardless of national mandate timing.
How should businesses handle multiple EU eInvoicing deadlines?
The proven approach is the gateway model: one middleware connection from the ERP covering every country mandate, with formats, submission models, and regulatory updates maintained by the gateway provider. This replaces the per-country integration estate that becomes unmanageable as mandates multiply. The OasisPro EU eInvoicing Gateway provides exactly this for any ERP at the most affordable rates in the market.
EU eInvoicing deadlines from now to 2030: tracked here, covered by one gateway.
This timeline will keep filling in as Spain's decree lands, as remaining member states announce their mandates, and as ViDA implementation details firm up.
OasisPro tracks all of it so the businesses connected through the gateway do not have to.
