Global eInvoicing landscape updates: Where we are and what’s next for 2026
We’re past the halfway point of 2025 – and if there’s one constant in the world of eInvoicing policy, it’s change. From new mandates across Europe to carefully timed deferrals in Malaysia, governments continue to refine their rollout strategies for structured eInvoicing.
Here’s a breakdown of the most significant updates so far this year, and what they signal for businesses and solution providers in the months ahead.
Belgium
It’s official; on 14 July 2025, a Royal Decree confirmed Belgium will launch their structured eInvoicing mandate next year, coming into effect on 1 January 2026.
All VAT-registered businesses will be required to issue and receive structured eInvoices for domestic B2B transactions. The mandate aligns Belgium with the broader European push toward standardised, secure, and tax-compliant ecosystems.
If you’re operating in Belgium, it’s time to finalise system upgrades ahead of the new year. For those transacting with Belgian trading partners, we recommend engaging a Peppol Access Point provider – like Tickstar – to help you enable sending and receiving capabilities before the mandate takes effect.
France
In 2024, France announced a phased introduction of mandatory B2B eInvoicing and B2C eReporting from September 2026, with large and medium-sized businesses first in line for the transition while smaller businesses follow in September 2027.
As of July 2025, the Direction Générale des Finances Publiques (DGFiP) has been confirmed as France’s Peppol Authority, and the PPF (Portail Public de Facturation) Directory launched with approximately 8,000 companies now registered.
Organisations that meet the first-phase requirements – more than 250 employees, and either annual turnover exceeding €50 million or a €43 million balance sheet – must be prepared to adopt a compliant eInvoicing solution soon to meet the September 2026 deadline.
Germany
Germany has taken two major steps in 2025: unifying its federal eInvoicing infrastructure and confirming a phased rollout for B2B eInvoicing.
While all VAT-registered businesses must already be able to receive structured eInvoices, the issuing side is being phased in:
- From 1 January 2027, businesses with annual turnover above €800,000 must issue structured eInvoices for domestic B2B transactions.
- From 1 January 2028, all other businesses will be required to issue structured eInvoices, unless exempt under the new legislation. Paper invoices will no longer be accepted for B2B transactions.
The consolidation of Germany’s dual federal platforms into one national portal is expected to streamline implementation and improve technical consistency. Businesses that begin onboarding to Peppol now will be best placed to meet these deadlines smoothly.
Malaysia
Malaysia’s phased implementation of MyInvois – the country’s eInvoicing framework – has been delayed, as of June 2025. The 4th phase, affecting taxpayers with annual turnover between RM1 million and RM5 million, originally planned for mid-year, has been pushed back to 1 January 2026. These businesses will have a 6-month relaxation launch period with simplified requirements beginning in January.
The 5th phase will kick in on 1 July 2026 for businesses with turnover between RM500,000 and RM1 million. As of now, those below RM500,000 in annual revenue are exempt.
From 1 January 2026, all business transactions greater than RM10,000 will need to be sent as individual eInvoices.
The delay reflects the Malaysian Government’s responsiveness to industry feedback, while reaffirming its commitment to national rollout. Businesses still have time to adopt the necessary infrastructure, but the window is narrowing.
Poland
Poland is well on its way to mandated eInvoicing, with parliamentary approval from the Polish Sjem recently confirmed and final legislation expected soon.
The current bill includes a phased introduction of B2B eInvoicing via its KSeF (Krajowy System e-Faktur) platform, with large business and enterprise expected to commence from 1 February 2026, and smaller businesses to join from 1 April 2026.
Once announced, Polish businesses will need to move swiftly to ensure they are prepared for KSeF eInvoicing. Trading partners should also be ready with their own interoperable solution to ensure they are capable of sending and receiving compliant eInvoices.
Singapore
Continuing their phased roll-out of InvoiceNow, Singapore has announced more GST-registered businesses will be required to adopt eInvoicing solutions over the coming year.
- From 1 November 2025, newly incorporated companies who have voluntarily registered for GST must send eInvoice data to the IRAS via an InvoiceNow-ready solution.
- From 1 April 2026, all new voluntary-GST registrants – regardless of incorporation status – must adopt an InvoiceNow-ready solution for sending eInvoice data to the IRAS.
Eligible businesses preparing for these deadlines should ensure they have a compliant eInvoicing solution as soon as possible. For trading partners, it’s worth considering whether your eInvoicing infrastructure is InvoiceNow-compliant to support trade with Singaporean partners.
