A Challenge for States
Electronic invoicing has become a key issue worldwide, with many countries adopting it to modernize their tax and business processes.
The aim is to simplify exchanges between companies and public authorities, while enhancing transparency and compliance. From Europe to Asia to Latin America, legislation is gradually integrating e-invoicing systems, bringing tangible benefits for businesses and public authorities alike.
Thanks to international standards and innovative platforms, e-invoicing is transforming the global economic ecosystem.
From pioneers to global reforms: the rise of electronic invoicing
This craze, launched by the pioneers of South America, Brazil and Mexico, was motivated by fiscal and economic reasons, such as combating fraud and improving transparency. Their success has inspired many other countries to adopt electronic invoicing. In Europe, Italy was the pioneer in introducing this regulation on a large scale. Recently, the VIDA directive adopted by the European Parliament encourages member states to set up electronic invoicing systems to simplify tax processes and promote international trade.
The evolution of electronic invoicing models
Numerous models have emerged to meet the challenges of e-invoicing reforms around the world. These models vary, from a centralized system where the state platform plays a centralizing role, to a decentralized model where certified private players communicate directly with the state platform.
A consensus seems to be emerging around the decentralized model - Continuous Transaction Control or CTC - known as “5 coins” or “five corners”, chosen by France and perfectly suited to the Peppol network.
The 5-corner model, the most complex of the models, is also the most resilient. Being decentralized, it has no single point of failure (SPOF), which reinforces its robustness.
The 5-corner model
In this model, the supplier transmits the invoice to his Peppol access point, which relays it to the buyer's access point, enabling the document to be received. Exchanges are based on certified access points, using Peppol BIS or Pepp
