Context

What is e-invoicing?

Since 2025, businesses in Germany are required to be able to receive e-invoices. From 2027, sending e-invoices becomes mandatory for all B2B transactions. An e-invoice is not a PDF — it contains machine-readable XML that can be processed automatically.

The e-invoicing mandate. What you need to know.

Germany is rolling out mandatory e-invoicing in stages. Agency OS keeps you compliant — today and tomorrow.

2025

Receiving mandatory

All German businesses must be able to receive e-invoices. PDF invoices via email are no longer sufficient for B2B.

2027

Sending mandatory (large)

Businesses with over €800,000 annual revenue must send e-invoices for all B2B transactions.

✓ Agency OS ready
2028

Sending mandatory (all)

FAQ

Common questions

From 2027, yes — if your client is a business (B2B). For private clients, the obligation does not apply. We recommend starting now — clients like publishers and agencies are already asking for it.

ZUGFeRD is a hybrid format — a normal PDF with invisible XML embedded. XRechnung is pure XML, mainly required for public authorities. For 95% of freelancers, ZUGFeRD is fully sufficient.

Factur-X, the French format, is technically identical to ZUGFeRD 2.x. France is introducing e-invoicing obligations from 2026. We are working towards official certification — until then, the format is already compatible.

No. Agency OS automatically generates ZUGFeRD-compliant PDFs. Nothing changes in your workflow — the export works as usual, now with embedded XML.

DATEV is the standard format for German tax advisors. Agency OS exports your invoice data directly in DATEV format — no manual copy-paste required.
