Electronic Invoicing Czech Republic
Czech Republic has transposed the Directive 2014/55/EU into national legislation. Since October 2016, all public contracting authorities have been required to receive and process Business-to-Government (B2G) e-invoices compliant with the European Standard.
All economic operators must issue e-invoices for B2G transactions with public administrations.
The Národní elektronický nástroj (NEN) platform was launched in 2015 and enables central, regional and local public contracting authorities to process the entire eProcurement life-cycle. It was fully deployed by the end of 2017. The usage of the NEN is obligatory for all contracting authorities unless they have the authorisation to use their own procurement tool.
However, the Czech Republic is still operating a post-audit model. Sending B2G or Business-to-Business (B2B) e-invoices are currently not mandatory, and an eSignature is not required.

Archiving
A taxable entity may freely choose the invoice storage location. The taxable entity is obliged to provide the tax administrator with immediate access to the invoices upon request. If the place of storage is outside the territory of the Czech Republic and the invoices are in electronic form, the taxable entity is obliged to provide the tax administrator with free electronic access.
Invoices must be stored for 10 years after the end of the tax period in which the service was provided.
Invoices may be converted from paper form to electronic form and stored in that form as long as the method used for transmission and storage ensures the credibility of the origin, the integrity of the content and its readability, and as long as the invoices have been transferred to an electronic form guaranteed by the electronic signature of the person responsible for the transfer.

Our advice
E-invoicing is not commonly used today, due to the lack of established standard formats. To accelerate processes and increase data quality, Basware recommends using electronic invoices for very large numbers of B2B transactions between two parties and PDF invoices for small and mid-size suppliers to move away for paper quickly.
