Switch to electronic invoicing

An electronic invoice is a digital document for commercial transactions. Unlike a paper invoice, it is issued, received and archived in electronic format, as a PDF or XML file. Electronic invoicing is often faster to process, more secure and compliant with current tax regulations. It reduces the errors and costs associated with manual processing of paper invoices.

Electronic invoicing has revolutionized the invoicing process and become a standard part of financial management. The transition to X-bill, the standardized format for electronic invoicing, is essential to simplify administrative management, minimize costs and reduce manual errors. Electronic invoicing reduces the need for paper printouts, a significant environmental benefit. Electronic invoicing enhances transparency within entities. It offers greater traceability of transactions and significantly reduces the risk of legal non-compliance.

What’s more, the new 2024 finance law requires large companies to switch to electronic invoicing from 2026, and VSEs, SMEs and micro-businesses from 2027. That’s why you need to start preparing today, and choose an approved platform to comply with these new regulations.
