Indian companies know e-invoicing — but the global picture has changed fast
Over 90 countries now have mandates in place or going live - and the pace is accelerating. Belgium and Poland are already enforcing B2B e-invoicing. France's rollout is underway from 2026. Germany's issuance obligation begins in January 2027. In the UAE, businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more must appoint an Accredited Service Provider by 31 July 2026 and go live by 1 January 2027.
And here's the catch — your India IRP experience doesn't transfer. Every jurisdiction brings different formats, different technical models, and different deadlines. Solving them one by one creates a compliance estate that's fragmented, costly, and hard to scale.
The companies navigating this well are treating it as a strategic priority, not a compliance fire drill. Join us to make sure you're one of them.

What’s on the agenda
In this focused 45-minute session, our expert panel will cover:
A scene-setter on where Indian multinationals typically stand on global e-invoicing awareness — and why there's often a dangerous gap between confidence and readiness
A structured walkthrough of the mandates that matter right now — the UAE, Europe, GCC, and Asia-Pacific — what's already live, what's imminent, and what the implications are for your operations
A panel discussion tackling the real questions Indian MNCs are grappling with: How do you manage multiple mandates on a single ERP? What does UAE compliance require operationally? When does a country-by-country approach stop making sense? And how do you build a compliance strategy that scales?
Who should attend
This session is for CFOs, Tax Directors, Finance Controllers, ERP leads, and indirect tax teams at Indian companies with global operations.
