E-invoicing Regulations Per Country Overview

Which E-invoicing Regulation, Format & Network?

The whole landscape of global e-invoicing and its regulations is changing rapidly. There are new laws approved on a monthly basis, new e-invoicing formats joining the list, and new networks created for B2G and B2B connections worldwide.

Unfortunately, a universal approach is still missing, causing the e-invoicing process to be quite complex for internationally operating enterprises. Why? Because numerous countries created their own laws, network, and/or format.
