- ViDA Q&A: Can authorities impose an E-Invoicing mandate for domestic transactions if recipient is not established in that Member State?
Mandatory E-Invoicing for Domestic Transactions: Before July 1, 2030, a Member State imposes mandatory e-invoicing for domestic transactions where the supplier is established in that Member State, but the recipient is not established there, though VAT-registered.Recipient’s Acceptance of E-Invoices:?According to Article 232(2), applicable from the ViDA Directive, e-invoices must be accepted by the recipient if they are not established in the Member State. Therefore, a Member State cannot mandate e-invoicing for domestic transactions if the recipient is non-established unless the recipient accepts the e-invoice.Directive Amendments and Compliance:?From July 1, 2030, amendments to Directive 2006/112/EC state that e-invoices compliant with the European standard do not require recipient acceptance if the recipient is established in the same Member State. However, for non-established recipients, acceptance is required unless the Member State has exercised specific options under Article 218.
