For sellers using Timelydo invoicing

E-invoicing and invoice rules by country

Timelydo helps you write invoices, send them and get paid. You are the seller, so the tax and invoicing rules of your country apply to you. Some countries now require many invoices to go through a national e-invoicing system or network. This page lists them, with the official sources, so you can check what applies to you.

Last checked 20 octobre 2026. Rules change often. The official source always wins over this page.

This is general information, not legal or tax advice

Whether a rule covers you depends on where you are registered, your size, your customer and the kind of sale. Only you, your tax adviser or your tax authority can decide that. Timelydo does not decide it for you.

What Timelydo does

  • Writes your invoices, estimates and credit notes with the details, prices and tax rates you enter.
  • Numbers your invoices in an unbroken series and keeps each issued invoice unchanged, with its history.
  • Sends them by email with a page your customer can open, print or pay by card.
  • Lets you export your invoices for your accountant.

What Timelydo does not do

  • It does not work out which tax applies, which rate, or whether you must charge tax. You enter your own rates.
  • It does not send invoices through any national e-invoicing system or network (for example SDI, KSeF, Peppol, a French approved platform, ZATCA, CFDI or MyInvois).
  • It does not create structured e-invoice files (XRechnung, ZUGFeRD, Factur-X, Peppol BIS and others) yet.
  • It does not file tax returns or report your sales to a tax authority.

Countries with a national e-invoicing system

In these countries many invoices must be issued or reported through a national system. Timelydo does not connect to any of them yet. If your invoices are covered, issue those invoices through a provider that supports the system, and ask your tax adviser which of your invoices are covered.

Pologne

KSeF

KSeF is required for invoices between businesses, from 1 February 2026 for the largest and 1 April 2026 for most others, with relief for very small sellers until 1 January 2027.

Espagne

VERI*FACTU

Invoicing software used by Spanish taxpayers must meet the VERI*FACTU rules from 1 January 2027 (companies) and 1 July 2027 (others). A separate e-invoicing duty between businesses is being introduced. Timelydo is not a VERI*FACTU system, so from those dates invoices for Spanish tax purposes need software that meets these rules.

Countries with no national e-invoicing system (yet)

In these countries an ordinary invoice, like the ones Timelydo makes, is generally used, but the tax authority sets what it must show. Check that your invoices include everything required.

États-Unis

No national e-invoicing mandate. Each state sets its own sales tax rules, including what an invoice or receipt shows.

Canada

No national e-invoicing mandate. What a GST/HST invoice must show depends on the amount (under 100, 100 to 499.99, and 500 dollars or more).
