As of ATLAS Release 10.1, there will be a significant change in the free circulation procedure:

The permitted length of the reference number (LRN) will be limited to a maximum of 22 characters. This adjustment follows the regulation already in force in the export and NCTS procedure.

It is therefore urgently necessary for companies that use reference numbers with more than 22 characters to adapt their systems accordingly by May 31, 2024. Otherwise, they risk disruptions in communication with ATLAS, as customs applications with longer reference numbers will be automatically rejected from June.

Ready for the latest? With our version 2024.1, available from week 17 / 2024, we are bringing a breath of fresh air to your processes! Customers with version 2023.2 will be actively contacted by us to arrange update dates.

Please take note of this change and adapt your processes in good time to ensure smooth workflows.

Your contact person at CargoSoft will be happy to assist you with the adaptation.

The Federal Council in Germany has approved the compromise version of the Growth Opportunities Act (WCG). This marks the start of the gradual introduction of mandatory electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) in Germany - initially in the form of an obligation to receive invoices for invoice recipients in the B2B sector from January 2025.

Why is the e-invoice so important for Germany?

The introduction of mandatory e-invoicing in Germany is expected to lead to additional tax revenue of well over ten billion euros per year. In future, electronic invoice exchange will also enable direct input tax deduction checks by the tax authorities, which should close the VAT gap caused by input tax deduction fraud.

Another plus point: the mandatory e-invoice is likely to provide a considerable boost to the digitization of the affected business processes in German companies.

This is how e-invoicing will continue in Germany:

From January 1, 2025, the receipt of an e-invoice in accordance with EN16931 will become mandatory for all German B2B transactions. Exceptions apply for invoices under 250 euros and for travel tickets. The priority of paper invoices no longer applies and the recipient's consent to receive EN16931-compliant e-invoices is no longer required.

There are transition periods until December 31, 2027 for companies with an annual turnover of less than 800,000 euros and for existing EDI connections with non-compliant e-invoice formats.

These changes will not only improve tax integrity, but also drive the digital transformation in German companies.

More information on e-invoicing and the new regulations will be available soon!
