What is an e-invoice?

This is an automated translation and may therefore contain translation errors or differ from reality in details

Electronic invoicing is the handling of a digital invoice. An e-invoice is subject to strict guidelines in both structure (layout) and content. Those guidelines are laid down in "standards". For the sake of completeness: a PDF invoice is not bound by formatting standards and is therefore not an e-invoice. The e-invoice must at least meet the same requirements as a traditional paper invoice or PDF invoice, in the Netherlands this means:

• That the buyer/customer agrees with the invoice
• The invoice must at least contain the legally required information
• The invoice must be authentic and honest
• The tax authorities must be able to check the invoice.
