Last month, Tungsten Automation communicated that the Bundesrat (Parliament upper House) and Bundestag (Parliament lower House) could not reach consensus on the e-invoicing trajectory Germany would adopt, specifically with regard to the Growth Opportunities Act, which endorses B2B e-invoicing in Germany.

Contentious points were referred to the Mediation Committee of the Bundestag and Bundesrat, with discussions set to resume on 21 February 2024.

Currently, e-invoicing receipt obligations are scheduled to commence in January 2025. A further timeline confirming subsequent obligations for German taxpayers can be accessed here. Tungsten Automation is aware that the 2025 obligation is impending. For this reason, we are very closely monitoring the outcome of these discussions, which we hope will outline the e-invoicing curvature in Germany.
