What is an eInvoice and when do I need it?

What is an eInvoice?

An electronic invoice (eInvoice) is an invoice issued in a structured format that is transmitted and received electronically. It allows for automatic and electronic processing in accounting software.

When does the eInvoice regulation apply?

The eInvoice regulation, which comes into effect on January 1, 2025, applies exclusively to business-to-business transactions (B2B).

Exempt from the eInvoice regulation are:

  • Small amounts under 250 EUR gross
  • Services provided by small businesses
  • Services to legal entities that are not businesses (e.g., associations or government institutions)

Does Parkster offer invoices in ZUGFeRD format?

Currently, our invoices are provided as standard PDF documents. We do not yet offer hybrid formats combining PDF and XML files (such as ZUGFeRD).

Since parking transactions generally fall under the exemption for amounts under EUR 250 or applicable transitional periods, our PDF invoices remain fully compliant and valid for your accounting. We are planning to support structured eInvoicing formats in the future.
