OB10 Customers Already Compliant With Recent Changes in German VAT law

Strength of the OB10 global e-Invoicing network a tremendous benefit to multinational companies requiring compliance in countries where they do business.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) May 14, 2009 -- OB10 exhibited the strength of its global e-Invoicing network by having already met the legal and fiscal requirements for all data formats that are processed on its network, including recent changes in VAT law by the German legislature for electronic data interchange (EDI) invoices. Until now, if a company exchanged invoice data via EDI, collective invoices were also required, either on paper or electronically with a qualified electronic signature. The reason was that EDI-Fact datasets contain accounting information only and do not contain all the required information for tax audit purposes. In addition, the authenticity and integrity of the invoice data could be proven by means of a collective invoice.
