Con honestidad sobre el alcance: creamos el archivo, no lo transmitimos. Usted sigue enviándolo a través de su propio punto de acceso Peppol o plataforma nacional, y algunos países exigen un formato nacional específico (el FatturaPA de Italia, el Facturae de España) que el UBL genérico no sustituye.

«Debe recibir» es la fecha en la que todas las empresas deben poder aceptar una factura electrónica estructurada; «obligatorio emitir» es cuando su envío se vuelve obligatorio (a menudo de forma escalonada según la facturación). Esta es información general, no asesoramiento fiscal: confirme siempre la situación actual con la autoridad fiscal nacional antes de basarse en ella.

|---|---|
| 2019 | Italia activa la facturación electrónica B2B completa a través del SdI, el primer mandato de este tipo en la UE. |
| mar 2025 | La UE adopta el paquete VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA): los Estados miembros pueden imponer la facturación electrónica B2B nacional sin necesidad de una excepción, y las facturas electrónicas ya no requieren el consentimiento del comprador. |
| ene 2026 | El mandato de facturación electrónica B2B de Bélgica entra en vigor a través de Peppol. |

Preguntas
A fecha de 2026, Italia (desde 2019) y Bélgica (desde enero de 2026) exigen la facturación electrónica B2B estructurada, y el mandato de Francia comienza en septiembre de 2026. El KSeF de Polonia también arranca en 2026. La mayoría de los demás países europeos han anunciado mandatos para 2027–2029.
Un PDF es, en esencia, una imagen digital de una factura; una factura electrónica es un archivo estructurado y legible por máquina (por ejemplo, EN 16931 enviado a través de Peppol) que otro sistema puede procesar de forma automática. Los mandatos exigen el formato estructurado: un PDF por sí solo no los cumple.
Sí. En cualquier factura que tenga configurado su país y el país de su cliente, puede descargar una factura electrónica estructurada EN 16931 / Peppol BIS 3.0 (UBL XML) junto al PDF. Supera el validador oficial de la European Commission. Está en beta, y crear el archivo no es lo mismo que presentarlo: usted sigue enviándolo a través de su propio punto de acceso Peppol o plataforma nacional, y algunos países exigen un formato nacional específico (el FatturaPA de Italia, el Facturae de España) que el UBL genérico no sustituye.
