What's Inside the September 2026 Edition
- The updated mandate tracker: What changed since April – Belgium’s escalating fine structure (€1,500 / €3,000 / €5,000 per breach), Spain’s Crea y Crece mandate confirmed by Royal Decree, Malaysia’s enforcement timeline extended to January 2028, and the latest ViDA milestones, alongside the full live mandate map across 11 countries
- ViDA: where things stand in September 2026: The current state of the VAT in the Digital Age directive, which cross-border obligations are now confirmed, and what your ERP and compliance roadmap must account for before 2030
- Country-by-country Tradeshift capabilities: Exactly how Tradeshift delivers compliance for each market – from KSeF 2.0 in Poland and Plateforme Agréée certification in France, to XRechnung in Germany, Peppol BIS 3.0 across the Nordics, and MyInvois in Malaysia
- When your setup is no longer fit for purpose: A practical decision framework for evaluating whether your current e-invoicing stack can handle the volume, formats, and clearance models now required across your markets
- Agentic AI in e-invoicing compliance: How AI agents are taking over exception handling, supplier onboarding, and real-time regulatory updates – and what Tradeshift has already shipped and what is on the roadmap
- The five questions to ask any compliance platform vendor: The criteria that separate a true multi-country orchestration platform from a point solution that will cost more to maintain than to replace

E-invoicing compliance used to be a project you completed once per country. Today it is a continuous operation - mandates update, formats evolve, and regulators move faster than annual software releases. What separates companies that stay compliant from those that fall behind is not the size of their compliance team. It is the intelligence of their platform.
