E-invoicing status and networks worldwide
This table tracks where electronic invoicing stands in each jurisdiction: whether a mandate exists, which network or clearance model it runs on (Peppol, Italy's SDI, Poland's KSeF, India's IRP, Saudi Arabia's ZATCA platform, and others), and which formats are required. The Latest tracked change column shows the most recent development frozen by the weekly Last Week in Taxes scan — including mandates that are enacted but not yet in force.
E-invoicing timelines move faster than any other area of indirect tax. Prefer the rows with a recent Last confirmed date, and follow the source link to the legal instrument before acting on a deadline. Per-country implementation detail lives in the e-invoicing guides.
Data updated 2026-10-12 — 80 jurisdictions, 72 confirmed from the weekly feed's official sources. Values live in data/baselines/einvoicing-status.json.
