E-invoicing by industry
E-invoicing for IT freelancers
As an IT freelancer you invoice almost only businesses, so the B2B rules apply to you in full, even with few invoices a month.
E-invoicing for trades and crafts
Trades and crafts businesses invoice both consumers and companies. Nothing changes for consumer invoices; the rules apply to work for companies, property managers and developers.
E-invoicing for consultants and coaches
Consultants, trainers and coaches mostly invoice companies, so the B2B rules apply even with a few large invoices.
E-invoicing for agencies
Agencies work in teams on projects for business clients. E-invoicing affects both outgoing invoices and the many incoming invoices from freelancers.
E-invoicing for B2B e-commerce
Selling online to business customers means many automatic invoices. Larger sellers hit the earliest deadlines.
E-invoicing in healthcare

E-invoicing for associations
Rules for associations depend on their VAT status, which differs by country. The guide below applies the rules for a typical association.
