Germany: Fully Compliant

Germany's VAT rate options in InvoiceKit are current: the 7% reduced rate for restaurant and catering services returns for invoices dated from 1 January 2026, selectable per line so a single invoice can mix standard and 7% items. Every German invoice can also be exported as UBL 2.1 / Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 XML.

Whether a service genuinely qualifies as restaurant or catering is a classification question for your accountant. On InvoiceKit's own compliance checklist, Germany has no outstanding items today.
