5. Paid add-ons for new tax requirements in EU countries from 2026
From 2026, some EU countries require e-invoice to be delivered together with the traditional PDF invoice for each payments. For the time being, we develop two plans:

- MP Billit: Integrated with Billit www.billit.eu/ to generate Peppol-compliant invoices. Peopol invoices will be required in some countries (for example Belgian) from Jan 2026, and if it is needed in your country, it is ready to use. If you need to use different Peppol providers, feel free to ask and we will try to work on the integration
