Free eInvoicing White Paper: Fulfill Compliance Requirements Internationally
An easy to understand overview of the legal requirements for electronic invoicing and archiving for all the EU countries
Düsseldorf, October 13, 2011 - AuthentiDate International AG, established specialist for international electronic invoicing processes, has issued an up-to-date, comprehensive White Paper on the legal conditions regarding the exchange of electronic invoices in Europe.
The White Paper explains the current legal situation in an easy to understand, simple and clear manner and provides an overview of the respective national requirements for sending and receiving electronic invoices throughout all EU countries. In addition, the specific national requirements for electronic archiving are laid out for all countries.
The White Paper provides each reader, even those without special prior knowledge, with a simple guide for implementing electronic invoicing and archiving. This enables virtually anyone implementing quickly and pragmatically country-specific requirements when exchanging electronic invoices within EU countries and internationally. For example, special compliance requirements such as the use of a qualified time stamp for electronic invoices in Italy and Hungary are portrayed.
The extent to which the individual European countries have already converted the new EU Council Directive 2010/45/EU regarding electronic invoicing into country-specific laws is also comprehensively explained. This was recently implemented in Germany by means of the tax simplification law.
Companies, exchanging electronic invoices internationally, may also obtain appropriate information on other countries outside Europe upon request. This also includes explanation of individual country specific requirements, such as electronic invoicing in Israel, Switzerland and Latin America.
The White Paper with an overview of the legal situation in the European Union is available here in English language at no charge, including an overview of the requirements of each EU country and a detailed example of one country. Another, more detailed 84 page version, including the overview and individual, country specific details for each of the 27 European member countries is available on request through the order form located within the free version.
