Suppliers to the state of Hessen are now required to issue their invoices electronically. The option to use e-Invoicing has been available for 4 years already since 18.4.2020. All e-Invoices can be submitted as an E-Mail with attachment addressed to e-rechung@ekrw.hessen.de.
Starting with the mandate, an additional “upload” functionality is published on the central portal of the Hessian State administration. Peppol-based machine-to-machine communication is not yet available but in active implementation to be released in 2024.
This brings the number of states with e-Invoicing mandates from 5 to 6 out of the 16 Länder in the Federal Republic. The next, and currently last, scheduled mandate will take effect on 1.4.2025 in Rheinland-Pfalz, leaving e-Invoicing optional in the 9 remaining states.
