Global Peppol Status

International adoption of Peppol varies by region. While Europe leads with mandatory eInvoicing for governments, other continents are now also making the transition to digital business communication.

Europe: Mandatory eInvoicing Expands

In Europe, eInvoicing for governments has been mandatory since 2019. Now more and more countries are also making B2B eInvoicing mandatory, creating great opportunities for Dutch companies that are already Peppol-ready.
