The European Commission has opened a public consultation to revise the EU e‑Invoicing Directive, offering three options that range from mandatory use of the EN 16931 standard for B2G transactions above thresholds to a full EU‑wide rollout with interoperability requirements and EU‑level governance. The consultation runs from 18 March to 10 June 2026 and seeks input on how to accelerate harmonisation ahead of the ViDA mandate, which will require structured e‑invoicing for intra‑EU B2B by July 2030.
