E-invoicing coverage, country by country
Governments are moving to mandatory e-invoicing faster than most finance teams can track. This is the current state of play, country by country, with Light's coverage marked in orange.
- Supported by Light today
- Not yet supported by Light
Tracked as of August 2026. Mandates shift often; this page is updated as they do.
Two things are tracked separately below. A country's mandate status is regulatory context: a mandatory regime already in force for some or all taxpayers, a mandate that's legislated and phasing in on a published timeline, or a national voluntary network (usually Peppol) with no legal requirement to use it yet. Separately, the Light column and the map's orange highlight show where Light itself already handles e-invoicing end to end, whatever stage that country's mandate is in.

Built to keep pace with the mandates
E-invoicing rules don't sit still: clearance models, formats and thresholds all change mid-year. Light is built around that.
01
Native formats
UBL, Peppol BIS, XRechnung, ZUGFeRD, FatturaPA, CFDI and the other structured formats a mandate actually asks for, not a PDF with a QR code bolted on.
02
Clearance and reporting
Real-time clearance models and continuous transaction controls post straight from the ledger, so the invoice a tax authority sees matches the one your books show.
03
One ledger, every entity
Statutory e-invoicing per entity, reconciled back to a single multi-entity, multi-currency ledger, with no side system per country to keep in sync.
04
Rules that update themselves
When a mandate's timeline or format changes, that change ships to every affected entity, not a project your team has to run.
