Omnilex headnote

Under § 14 UStG, invoices for services must satisfy the statutory invoicing requirements. Where invoices are transmitted electronically, the required qualified electronic signature is a relevant element of compliance. A recipient may seek issuance of compliant invoices and electronic re-transmission of invoices that do not meet those requirements.
