Am I affected by e-invoicing?
Answer up to five questions and see which e-invoicing rules apply to your business in your EU country, from which date, with the official source.
Answer up to five questions about your business and Klarbon lists the e-invoicing obligations that apply to it, from which date: receiving, sending and reporting, each with its official source and the date that source was last checked. Bills and announcements are marked as not yet law. Your answers stay on your device.
What does it ask?
- Your country: where the business is established, or where it is registered for VAT.
- Whether it is established there, if the rules treat a business that is only registered for VAT differently.
- Whom you deal with: other businesses, public bodies or consumers, where that changes the answer.
- The size of your business, only where a date depends on it: the EUR 800,000 previous-year turnover in Germany, the PLN 200 million and PLN 10,000 a month groups for KSeF in Poland, the company size waves in France, the EUR 8 million VAT turnover in Spain.
- A small-business scheme, only where the source says it changes the answer, such as the German Kleinunternehmerregelung.
What does the answer show?
Each obligation that applies, by date, with what to do: be ready to open and check the e-invoices you receive, make or convert the ones you send, and see the country guide for reporting. Under it, what does not apply and why, in one line each, and what Klarbon cannot answer yet.
At the end you can ask for a reminder before your date. For the German rules in full, see e-invoicing in Germany.

Frequently asked questions
When do the e-invoicing obligations start in Germany?
1 January 2025: Receive e-invoices from businesses; 1 January 2027: Send e-invoices to businesses (turnover over €800,000 in the previous calendar year); 1 January 2028: Send e-invoices to businesses (turnover of €800,000 or less in the previous calendar year). Checked against the official sources on 8 November 2026.
Are my answers sent anywhere?
No. The answer is worked out in your browser from the rules Klarbon keeps for each country. Klarbon only counts that an answer was shown, for which country and roughly how many obligations it listed.
Is the answer legal or tax advice?
No. It summarises the official sources, linked under each item, as they stood on the date shown. Your own case can turn on details the questions do not ask, such as exempt supplies or special schemes, so ask your tax adviser or the tax authority before you rely on it.
What does "not yet law" mean?
The date comes from a bill before parliament or a government announcement, such as Belgium's e-reporting bill or Luxembourg's bill 8815. It can change before it is passed. Klarbon shows it so you can plan, and changes it when the law is published.
Why does an item say you cannot answer yet?
Klarbon fills in whom a rule covers only from the official source itself. Where that source has not been read yet, or does not say whether it covers a business that is only registered for VAT in the country, the answer says so and links the source instead of guessing.
My country is not in the list. What now?
The list holds every EU country with a dated or enacted e-invoicing obligation for businesses, plus Austria, Hungary, the Netherlands and Portugal. For the others, see e-invoicing by country.
