When all parties follow the same rules for how documents are structured, different systems can read and process them without manual intervention, regardless of which software or country is involved.<\/p>\n<p>In this blog post, we take a closer look at Peppol BIS 3.0, the most widely used Peppol format in Europe, and explain what Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 means for companies exchanging electronic invoices and credit notes.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to know more about the Peppol network, we will recommend that you read our blog <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecommerce.com\/en-gb\/blog\/what-is-peppol\/\">\u201cWhat is Peppol: The Complete Guide to Peppol\u201d.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>What is Peppol BIS and how does it work for e-invoicing?<\/h2>\n<p>Peppol is the secure network used to exchange electronic business documents between companies (B2B) and public sector organisations (B2G).<\/p>\n<p>Within this network, documents must follow a common structure so that different systems can read and process them automatically. This structure is called Peppol BIS (Business Interoperability Specifications).<\/p>\n<p>The most used version, Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, is built on the European <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecommerce.com\/en-gb\/products\/e-invoicing-software\/\">e-invoicing standard EN 16931<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While EN 16931 defines the core requirements for electronic invoices, Peppol BIS provides the practical rules and structure needed to implement those requirements across borders and industries.<\/p>\n<p>By using Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, companies can send and receive documents in a standardised way, ensuring they are validated and compliant with EU requirements such as VAT rules.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Peppol BIS matters<\/h2>\n<p>Peppol BIS goes beyond being a technical format. It plays a central role in how companies and public sector organisations across Europe exchange documents, and its adoption is growing as more countries mandate structured e-invoicing.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the main reasons why more and more businesses are adopting it:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"plus-circle\">\n<li><strong>Comply with local and EU rules<\/strong><br \/>\nMany countries in Europe now require Peppol-standard invoices when trading with the public sector. Some countries are even expanding this to B2B invoicing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fewer manual tasks and errors<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen everyone uses the same structure, documents flow automatically between systems, reducing rework, rejected invoices, and time spent on manual checks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepared for future requirements<\/strong><br \/>\nThe European Commission continues to push for harmonised e-invoicing standards, meaning Peppol BIS is part of a long-term strategy for digital trade.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This makes Peppol BIS a safe choice for companies looking to standardise and simplify their invoicing processes.<\/p>\n<h2>Key facts about Peppol BIS Billing 3.0<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"check-circle\">\n<li>Optimised for European requirements, including EU VAT rules<\/li>\n<li>Built on the <strong>UBL (Universal Business Language)<\/strong> format<\/li>\n<li>Standard for <strong>e-invoices<\/strong> and <strong>credit notes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Enables fast and secure document exchange between trading partners<\/li>\n<li>Built on the European e-invoicing standard EN 16931<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Peppol BIS vs. PINT<\/h2>\n<p>While Peppol BIS is designed for Europe, there is also PINT (Peppol International Invoice), which is a global standard.<\/p>\n<p>PINT was developed because countries outside of Europe wanted to use the Peppol network, but Peppol BIS did not fully meet their local requirements, such as tax rules and regulations.<\/p>\n<p>To solve this, PINT was created to provide a flexible framework that follows the same principles as Peppol BIS, while allowing each country to adapt the format to their specific legal and regulatory needs.<\/p>\n<h2>How does this look in practice?<\/h2>\n<p>If a company in Germany sends an invoice to a company in Sweden, they would use Peppol BIS 3.0, since both countries follow the European standard.<\/p>\n<p>But if that same German company sends an invoice to a business partner in Australia, it would often need to use PINT, because Australia has different tax and reporting rules that the European version does not cover.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Peppol BIS<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>PINT<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Focuses on European requirements, especially VAT rules<\/td>\n<td>Designed for global use outside the EU<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Based on <strong>UBL<\/strong> format<\/td>\n<td>Based on <strong>UBL<\/strong> or <strong>CII<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Commonly used for EU cross-border trade<\/td>\n<td>Used when working with countries outside Europe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>How to get started with Peppol BIS 3.0<\/h2>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re new to Peppol BIS or moving to Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 from an older format, we make it straightforward to get connected and stay compliant.<\/p>\n<p>As an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecommerce.com\/en-gb\/solutions\/peppol-network\/\">approved Peppol Access Point,<\/a>\u00a0TrueCommerce helps you connect to the Peppol network and begin exchanging electronic invoices and credit notes in a secure, compliant way.
