Netherlands: Government Opts for Mandatory B2B E-Invoicing from 1 July 2030

The Dutch government intends to make e-invoicing mandatory for business-to-business transactions in the Netherlands from 1 July 2030, the Netherlands Peppol Authority (NPa) announced. From 1 July 2031, the government also intends to require digital reporting of these transactions to the Dutch Tax Administration (Belastingdienst). With this step, the Netherlands aligns with the EU’s VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) package.

From 2030, the ViDA rules introduce e-invoicing and digital reporting requirements for cross-border B2B transactions within the EU. The Netherlands has chosen to extend the e-invoicing obligation to domestic B2B transactions as well, with digital reporting following one year later.

The national bill will now be developed further. This work will cover the set-up of secure and reliable data exchange and the wider impact on businesses, including administrative burden. The bill is expected to be submitted to the House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer) before summer 2027.

According to the NPa, the central government received almost 2 million e-invoices from suppliers in 2025, representing 86% of all invoices received. About half of these e-invoices were received via Peppol.
