Hamburg e-invoice

Since January 1, 2022, all contractors with public clients are required to submit invoices electronically in the new standard format, XRechnung.
If you are a company based in Hamburg and are interested in obtaining your own Leitweg-ID, you can contact leitwegid@22222.hamburg.de via email.
The preferred method for sending invoices is Peppol, with the Peppol ID being 0204:02-FHH-06.

The use of the Central Invoice Reception Portal of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg is not mandatory.
