To help our users adapt to these changes, we have implemented full support for XML invoices in our application, compliant with the XRechnung standard and the EU&#8217;s UBL (Universal Business Language) standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do electronic invoices work in eFaktura.nl?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Automatic generation of XML invoices<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When issuing an invoice through eFaktura.nl, an XML file will automatically be attached alongside the traditional PDF. This ensures compliance with all new German legal requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Downloading and managing XML invoices<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can easily download your XML invoices from the list of issued documents and forward them directly to your accounting office or accounting systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Handling expense invoices in XML format<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you receive an invoice from a business partner in XML format, you can add it to your expense register in the eFaktura.nl application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who is affected by the XML electronic invoice regulation?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new rules apply to B2B transactions where both parties are based or have a permanent establishment in Germany. This also includes Polish companies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>operating in the German market, e.g., through branches or warehouses,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>conducting local B2B transactions with German partners.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>With eFaktura.nl, you\u2019re always compliant with the latest requirements!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By using our application, you can be confident that your invoices meet the applicable regulations. Additionally, we are working on integration with the European PEPPOL system, which will make document transmission even easier in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/app.efaktura.nl\/#\/invoices\">Check how it works<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting January 2025, the European standard EN 16931 will come into effect in Germany, mandating the use of electronic invoices (e-invoices) for B2B transactions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":31324,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_crdt_document":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[191],"tags":[193],"class_list":["post-31323","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-system-eng","tag-show-in-system"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
