Practical notes on EU e-invoicing mandates, Peppol, VAT and EORI validation and sanctions screening, written for people who build invoicing, ERP and accounting software. New articles appear here first. Subscribe with the RSS feed.
From 1 January 2027 Slovak VAT payers send domestic B2B invoices as Peppol BIS 3 UBL through a certified provider. The fields the Financial Administration adds to EN 16931 (0245:DIČ endpoints, addresses, IČO, legal form, tax point date, VATEX), the timeline incl. the no-fines bill, the invoice UUID and a checklist.
The third BMF letter on mandatory B2B e-invoicing keeps every deadline but settles down payments (BT-113 and BT-22 until 30 June 2030), construction and gross-price invoices, corrections, business-rule errors and penalties. Paragraph by paragraph, with what to do in your software.
Formats for all 27 member states plus Northern Ireland, how VIES works, when you must validate, consultation numbers as proof, and what each VIES error means.
