SEEBURGER Supports
EY Research on ViDA,
E-Invoicing and Digital Reporting

April 01, 2026 – Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Last year, SEEBURGER has contributed its expertise to EY research for the Dutch Ministry of Finance on ViDA, e-invoicing and digital reporting, highlighting the growing importance of an integrated digital infrastructure for future tax and compliance frameworks.

EY's dedication to advancing digital transformation and compliance is evident throughout the report. Their thought leadership and rigorous analysis have provided valuable insights for shaping the future of e-invoicing and digital reporting in the Netherlands. By bringing together industry expertise and a forward-looking perspective, EY has demonstrated a commitment to supporting the Ministry of Finance and stakeholders with actionable recommendations for a robust and scalable digital infrastructure.

Prepared by EY for the Dutch Ministry of Finance, the report examines how the Netherlands could approach the implementation of ViDA, e-invoicing and digital reporting. It addresses legal, operational and infrastructure-related questions, including implementation scenarios, the impact on businesses, comparisons with other European countries, and the role of digital infrastructure in enabling compliant and scalable adoption. At its core, the research was commissioned to assess two key questions: whether the objectives and conditions for e-invoicing and digital reporting infrastructure should be set out more explicitly in regulation, and what the advantages and disadvantages would be for the Netherlands of introducing mandatory domestic e-invoicing and digital reporting.

Among its key findings, the report points to a broad preference for Peppol as the most suitable infrastructure for the Netherlands, based on interoperability, scalability and international alignment. It also concludes that a broader domestic rollout of e-invoicing and digital reporting offers greater long-term benefits than a cross-border-only approach, including higher efficiency for businesses, improved tax oversight, higher expected tax revenues and the potential to support partially pre-filled VAT returns.

SEEBURGER contributed practical expertise on the technical implementation of e-invoicing and digital reporting. This includes interoperability across ICT systems, the role of service providers and access points in exchanging structured invoice data, and the integration of e-invoicing and reporting processes into existing ERP and software environments.

For SEEBURGER, the report findings align closely with the practical requirements customers face as e-invoicing mandates expand across Europe. As a Peppol Access Point with e-invoicing experience in more than 35 countries, SEEBURGER helps organizations implement once and scale across multiple national mandates, reporting models and compliance requirements. This gives finance and IT teams a consistent foundation for Europe-wide rollouts while reducing integration effort, operational complexity and the need for country-by-country reimplementation.
