German CIUS XRechnung What you should know | webPDF
What is XRechnung used for?
With the EU Directive 2014/55/EU from 2014, public clients in Europe are obliged to be able to receive and process invoices electronically no later than 30 months after publication of the standard. In this context, the European Commission issued a mandate to develop a corresponding standard, which was published in October 2017 under the EN 16931 standard. Since 18.04.2020, all public clients must therefore receive electronic invoices in compliance with the EU standard EN 16931. The German CIUS XRechnung is therefore the German version of the electronic invoice for public authorities that complies with the EU standard 16931.
