EU ViDA brings e-invoicing to cross-border B2B trade – what invoicers should do now

Structured e-invoices and digital reporting become mandatory in intra-EU trade from 2030. Peppol and EN 16931 compatibility is worth sorting out ahead of time.

The EU's VAT in the Digital Age package (ViDA) was adopted in spring 2025. Its key change for invoicers is that invoices for cross-border B2B trade will in future have to be delivered as structured e-invoices compliant with the European EN 16931 standard, and reported to tax authorities in near real time.

In Finland, e-invoicing is already routine, but many invoicers still use national formats and operator-specific routes. The transition is best made in a controlled way: make sure the invoicing system produces EN 16931-compliant data, and that the operator transmits invoices to the Peppol network.

Trust360 supports the Finvoice, TEAPPSXML and Peppol BIS 3.0 formats from the same invoice flow. The invoicer doesn't need to know which route the invoice takes – the operator handles conversion and routing.
