How large is the fine for not submitting e-Factura?

It depends on taxpayer category (large, medium, small/individual): fines are tiered, larger for big companies. The main risk is accumulation across volume.

Are there separate fines for B2C?

Yes. Sales to individuals are now in scope, with their own penalties for failing to upload invoices to the system.

How do I fully remove the fine risk?

Automatic submission at issue time, prior CIUS-RO validation and status monitoring. Azuvio automates the whole chain so the deadline no longer depends on a person.

Does one delay mean just one fine?

Not necessarily. Penalties can apply per document or per breach, so at volume the risk accumulates quickly.

e-Factura fines 2026: the cost of not submitting, and how to avoid it

In 2026, e-Factura is no longer optional and penalties for non-submission or late submission are actively enforced. For a high-volume company, the cumulative risk can become significant.

This guide covers the scale of fines, the specific B2C penalty, real cases, and a simple compliance checklist.

What you risk and how to protect yourself

Fine amounts by category
Fines for non-/late submission are tiered by taxpayer size (large, medium, small/individual). The larger the company, the larger the fine per breach.
The specific B2C penalty
Sales to individuals carry their own penalties for not uploading invoices. In practice, all invoice categories are now in scope, so no area is 'risk-free' anymore.
Real cases of cumulative risk
A company issuing hundreds of invoices a month that repeatedly misses the deadline doesn't get one fine but one per document or per breach. The risk isn't a single fine — it's accumulation across volume.
Compliance checklist
Submit every invoice automatically at issue time; validate CIUS-RO before sending; monitor status (accepted/rejected) and handle rejections immediately; download and match supplier invoices. Azuvio covers this whole chain automatically.

Bottom line

e-Factura fines are entirely avoidable with an automatic process: submit at issue time, validate beforehand, monitor status. The risk disappears once submission no longer depends on manual work.
