An e-invoice is an invoice issued, transmitted, and received in a structured electronic format (like XML) instead of a PDF or paper document. Because the data is structured, it can be read and validated automatically by accounting systems and tax authorities — no manual re-entry.
Governments across the EU and beyond are increasingly requiring businesses to issue e-invoices, with mandates already active in several countries and more coming into effect through 2027–2030.
Peppol is a network that is being adopted in EU and other countries as a standardized network and format.
