The obligation to issue invoices is set from:

2. September 1, 2027, for small and medium-sized enterprises and micro-enterprises

The obligation to receive electronic invoices will apply from September 1, 2026, for all companies.

Additionally, all companies subject to VAT will be required to demand an electronic invoice format from their suppliers from the first day of the reform's implementation, as long as their suppliers are subject to the obligation to transmit an e-invoice.
