What has been announced?
On 11 September 2026 the government opted for domestic B2B e-invoicing from 1 July 2030 and digital reporting from 1 July 2031. The draft bill goes to public consultation this autumn, and the government wants to submit it to the House of Representatives before summer 2027. The European directive provides for digital reporting of cross-border B2B transactions from July 2030. Dutch businesses using the KOR small business scheme, with turnover of up to € 20,000 a year, remain exempt according to the announcement.
Start with everyday invoices
Trace an invoice from the order through to payment and the VAT return. Identify where staff enter the same information twice, where VAT numbers are missing and where corrections happen outside the accounting system.
Ask your software provider about support for structured invoices. Use that information when considering future systems; the precise Dutch requirements are still being developed.
What to have ready
- Examples of a sales invoice, a purchase invoice and a credit note.
- An overview of invoicing software, your webshop and accounting connections.
- The countries in which your business customers and suppliers are based.
- Your process for correcting invoices and completing missing information.
