It's Nearly Fulltime for E-Invoicing in France and Germany: Don't Let it Go to Penalties


This webinar will take place on:
24 September, 2026
04:00 PM - 04:45 PM CET


France's September 2026 and Germany's January 2027 e-invoicing mandates are the final whistle –  hard deadlines, not tax technicalities. As both governments force e-invoicing and e-reporting rules directly into your transaction flow, there's no extra time to get your house in order. The stakes are clear: your billing and cash collection are on the pitch. Small gaps in your O2C and P2P processes can quickly compound into invoice rejections, delayed customer payments, and costly rework across Finance, Tax, and IT. That's an own goal nobody wants to score.

Kick off unprepared, and you're looking at more than a yellow card. Rejected invoices, stalled cash flow, and cross-functional firefighting are the penalties waiting for teams without a solid game plan. The good news: with the right formation in place, compliance becomes a competitive advantage — not a last-minute scramble. Join us to build your playbook before the referee blows the whistle.

Alexander Sutter, Principal Product Manager, E-Invoicing & Live Reporting (ELR) at Avalara, will share key takeaways, including:

  • What the upcoming e-invoicing mandates mean in practice
  • Where finance organizations are most exposed
  • What it really costs to get it wrong
