Rules for e-invoicing have been developed and implemented in the Netherlands as a substandard of the European standard, which means these guidelines are based on European standards, but adapted to the Dutch law. That is why this Dutch substandard is called NLCIUS (the European standard is CIUS). NLCIUS e-invoices are supported by the Standardization Platform (STPE).
In the Netherlands, e-invoicing to public entities (B2G) has become partially mandatory since 2017, while the mandatory exchange of electronic invoices does not apply to business to business relationships. The obligation to receive and process electronic invoices applies only to local government units and other contracting authorities, while the receipt and processing of e-invoices is mandatory for the central administration.
E-invoices can be sent to the public sector using the PEPPOL model. For central government bodies there is a platform called DIGIPOORT for reception of e-invoices which is also connected to the PEPPOL network. This solution is used more often by suppliers with large amount of invoices. For smaller vendors has been prepared web portal named Logius to manually enter and send thier invoices.
Accepted format is Peppol BIS 3.0.
The government platform in the Netherlands is Digipoort (recommended for high-tech companies that send large amounts of invoices).
Required storage period is 7 years from invoice date. Archiving abroad is allowed under certain conditions.
