The confirmed mandate dates

Every date below is verified against its official source (BMF, FNFE-MPE, OpenPeppol, EUR-Lex — links inside the kit). Dates we could not re-verify are deliberately not shown — the kit tracks them on a watch-list instead.

Date	Who it applies to	Status
Germany — since 1 Jan 2025	Every domestic B2B business must be able to receive structured e-invoices when a supplier sends one	Live — receiving duty
Germany — 1 Jan 2027 · 1 Jan 2028	Issuing becomes mandatory: first for prior-year turnover above €800,000, then for all businesses	Confirmed — BMF FAQ
France — 1 Sept 2026	All French-established businesses must receive; issuing starts for large enterprises and mid-caps (GE + ETI)	Confirmed — FNFE-MPE
Belgium — 1 Jan 2026	Receiving and issuing mandatory for domestic B2B between VAT-liable businesses — no transition ladder	Live now

France's SME issuing wave (planned 2027) and Poland's KSeF are watch-list items — announced, but not verifiable against the primary government page, so this page deliberately does not state them as facts. The kit's timeline cites every source and includes the quarterly re-check routine.

What's inside the kit

14 files in one zip — nine working documents plus previews of the real files — it opens ready to use, installs nothing, and every date carries its official source.

Verified

Mandate timeline DE · FR · BE

CONFIRMED dates with official sources (BMF FAQ, FNFE-MPE, OpenPeppol, EUR-Lex) — plus an explicit watch-list for what is not yet certain, with the quarterly re-check routine.

77 items

Readiness checklist

Eleven sections from scope to sign-off: do you have to receive, send, or both? Master data, archive, vendor accountability — every item answerable with yes or no.

20 fields

Format field guide

The 20 BT-x fields that actually break — Leitweg-ID, SIREN scheme codes, IBAN checks, the BR-CO totals chain — with examples and the symptom each failure shows.

12 emails

Supplier & customer emails DE · FR · NL · EN

Three templates in four languages, ready to send: ask a supplier whether they can e-invoice, answer a customer who asks you, log every reply. Most readiness projects stall on that first reply — this ships the words.

30 questions

Vendor question list

Thirty questions that pin down any e-invoicing vendor — or your own stack — with an answer sheet and a ✅ / ⚠️ / ❌ verdict system, so marketing answers turn into facts.

14 days

PLAYBOOK-14D + license

A 14-day readiness sprint with daily "done when" gates, ending in written sign-off and a tested archive. Single-business commercial license included.

The honest part: guidance, not legal advice

This kit is guidance, not legal or tax advice. It organizes publicly available official information and proven readiness practice; it does not replace your tax advisor, accountant or lawyer. Specific VAT questions go to your advisor — the kit tells you which questions to bring.

And it is not software. It doesn't send, receive, validate or store invoices — it gets you ready to choose and test the tools that do. Spec versions (XRechnung, Factur-X) evolve; the kit teaches the quarterly re-check routine instead of pretending to be a live feed.

Who the kit is for

Four situations where exactly this readiness layer is the missing piece.

You invoice in or with Germany

Receiving has been mandatory since 1 Jan 2025, and issuing reaches your turnover band in 2027 or 2028. 2026 is your practice year — run the checklist now, not in deadline week.

You sell to customers in France

From 1 Sept 2026 every French-established business must receive, and large enterprises and mid-caps must issue. The platform registration queue is your critical path — start this week.

You trade with Belgium

The mandate went live on 1 Jan 2026 — receiving and issuing together. Counterparties are already failing; the Belgian section is a triage kit for fixing problems, not preparing.

You run a SaaS, the books or an office

Founders: customers demand e-invoice exports and EN 16931 is a maze — the 20-field guide and 30 vendor questions test your own stack. Bookkeepers and office managers: the whole assessment walkthrough for less than one consulting hour.

One price. You own it.

No monthly plan, no per-document fees, no subscription.

Frequently asked questions

What does the license cover?

A single-business commercial license: one buyer (a person or a company) can use the kit for their own business across Germany, France and Belgium. Redistributing or reselling the kit files themselves is not allowed — advisory firms that want to use the kit in client work need their own arrangement. Everything you produce with it belongs to you entirely.

Do I get updates?

Yes — every v1.x update is free, and the mandate timeline is revised whenever the DE/FR/BE rules move — that is what the watch-list discipline is for. Re-download any time from your download page. If a v2.0 ever ships, existing buyers get a clear upgrade path — never a surprise paywall.

What is the refund policy?

If the kit doesn't fit how you work, email [email protected] within 30 days of purchase and we'll refund you in full — the zip is yours to keep or delete. One refund per purchase; we only ask for optional feedback.

Is this legal or tax advice?

No. The kit is guidance: it organizes official public sources (BMF, FNFE-MPE, OpenPeppol, EUR-Lex) into a workflow a business owner can actually run, with the source linked to every date. It does not replace your tax advisor or lawyer — specific VAT or contract questions belong with them, and the kit tells you which questions to bring.

Which countries does it cover?

Germany, France and Belgium — the three B2B mandates with confirmed dates — plus the EU-wide ViDA direction for 2030. Explicitly not stated as facts: Poland's KSeF and France's SME issuing wave (watch-list items, tracked but never presented as deadlines).
