E-invoicing, a form of electronic billing, streamlines the invoicing process by eliminating the need for manual data entry. This reduces errors and improves the accuracy and efficiency of billing and payment processes. ## E-invoicing with Monite Monite leverages the integration with the global strategic partner to provide e-invoicing solutions and help our partners create and send e-invoices using the Monite API. This integration enables Monite partners to stay compliant in the regions where E-invoicing becomes mandatory. > **Info** > > **Contact us** > > For more information on invoicing mandates or how to get started, please [contact support](https://monite.freshdesk.com/support/login) or your Customer Success Manager. ## Current and upcoming e-invoicing mandates #### Asia-Pacific The following table shows the status of e-invoicing in various countries in the Asia-Pacific: | Country | Comments | | :--------------- | :------------------------------------------------------- | | ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ Australia | Should be mandatory for businesses in July 2025. | | ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ China | Was made mandatory as of December 2021. | | ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ India | Was made mandatory as of October 2020. | | ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ Indonesia | Was made mandatory as of July 2015. | | ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ Malaysia | Was made mandatory as of August 2024. | | ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฟ New Zealand | Should be mandatory for businesses in November 2024. | | ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ Philippines | Was made mandatory for B2B as of January 2024. | | ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ Singapore | Should be mandatory as of November 2025. | | ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท South Korea | Was made mandatory for most taxpayers as of August 2014. | | ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ญ Thailand | Was made mandatory for B2B as of 2018. | | ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ผ Taiwan | Was made mandatory as of January 2021. | | ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ณ Vietnam | Was made mandatory as of July 2022. | #### Americas The following table shows the status of e-invoicing in various countries in the Americas: | Country | Comments | | :---------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท Argentina | Was made mandatory as of July 2015. | | ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ด Bolivia | Was made mandatory as of December 2021. | | ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท Brazil | Was mandatory as of 2008. | | ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Chile | Was made mandatory as of February 2018. | | ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ด Colombia | Was made mandatory for all taxpayers as of November 2020. | | ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ท Costa Rica | Was made mandatory as of 2018. | | ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด Dominican Republic | Was made mandatory for B2B invoices as of January 2024. | | ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡จ Ecuador | Was made mandatory as of November 2022. | | ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡น Guatemala | Was made mandatory for all VAT-registered taxpayers as of July 2022. | | ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ Mexico | Was made mandatory for all transactions as of January 2014. | | ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฆ Panama | Was made mandatory for all newly-registered taxpayers as of January 2022. | | ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡พ Paraguay | Was made mandatory for newly-registered businesses as of January 2024. | | ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡พ Uruguay | Was made mandatory as of May 2024. | #### Europe The following table shows the status of e-invoicing in various European countries: | Country | Comments | | :--------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช Belgium | Should become mandatory as of January 2026. | | ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ท Croatia | Should become mandatory as of January 2026. | | ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท France | Originally planned for July 2024, it has now been postponed till September 2026 for B2B. | | ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Germany | Should be mandatory for receiving B2B e-invoices in 2025 and mandatory for sending B2B invoices in 2027.
