The European Commission, on 18 March 2026, launched a consultation on the revision e-invoicing Directive 2014/55/EU (the e-invoicing Directive). All members of the public, public authorities and other stakeholders (e.g., businesses including small and medium-sized entities, business associations, e-invoicing service and solutions providers, nongovernmental organizations, civil society organizations, academia) are invited to respond to this consultation.

The consultation aims to ensure that relevant stakeholders can provide their views, evidence and experience regarding the key challenges and opportunities for the revision of the e-invoicing Directive.
