The EU’s VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) initiative will bring mandatory structured e‑Invoicing and e‑Reporting to every Member State between 2026 and 2035. The rules will roll out in phases — and starting in 2026, several major and mid‑sized markets will require compliant e‑Invoice formats and, in some cases, Continuous Transaction Controls (CTC).
To help manufacturers, retailers, and buying groups keep ahead of these mandates, Tradeplace Connect now delivers a fully ViDA‑aligned e‑Invoicing solution — ready once, compliant everywhere.
See what’s coming — month by month
Planning ahead is easier when you can see deadlines clearly.
Our new E‑Invoicing Compliance Calendar 2026 video shows which countries are going live each month, the thresholds applying, and the formats required — from E‑Faktura and Peppol BIS to SAF‑T and local CTC models.

With the calendar in hand, you can map your rollout strategy early, align IT and finance teams, and avoid last‑minute scrambling.
Centralise once — avoid many local projects
A fragmented approach means higher costs, duplicated efforts, and inconsistent processes.
With Tradeplace Connect e‑Invoicing:
- One implementation can serve all VAT entities and all European markets
- 70–85% cost savings compared to separate local projects
- Invoice data is automatically converted to the required national formats: Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, UBL, XRechnung, Factur‑X, ZUGFeRD, FatturaPA, CII, ISO 20022, FacturaE and more
- CTC reporting is handled where mandatory, plus hybrid routing where required
- Both outbound (available end of 2025) and inbound (from Q1 2026) invoices are covered
- Seamless use alongside Message Hub for connected partners
By acting now, your organisation can test and go live well before the first deadlines hit — without spinning up separate local projects per country.
Clear, competitive pricing — with Tradeplace volume benefits
Pricing per legal entity (VAT number):
- One‑time setup fee: €1,275
- Annual fee: €1,500
Transaction costs from €0.19 down to €0.04 per invoice depending on the total invoice volume of all your legal entities together.
💡Tradeplace advantage:
By bundling cross‑country and cross‑company volumes, we achieve lower unit prices with our partner Storecove — and we pass these volume discounts back to all customers in the following year.
The more the network grows, the more everyone saves.
Why act now?
Waiting until national ViDA deadlines creates risk — higher project costs, rushed rollouts, and disrupted invoice flows.
With Tradeplace Connect e‑Invoicing:
- Compliance is implemented once and works for all covered countries
- You are prepared well before mandates take effect
- You benefit from network‑wide cost advantages every year
