Setting Up Leitweg ID for E-Invoicing

Starting January 1, 2025, businesses in Germany must issue and receive e-invoices under a new government regulation to reduce VAT fraud and close the VAT gap.
	What is Leitweg ID?  Provide Leitweg ID in my.anydesk

We have already implemented the necessary adjustments in the my.anydesk management portal to comply with this legal requirement.

What is Leitweg ID?

From January 2025, we will send invoices as e-invoices (X-invoices) by default to customers who have provided their Leitweg ID in their my.anydesk account. If no Leitweg ID is stored, you will continue to receive invoices in PDF format.

The Leitweg ID is a unique code used in Germany to send electronic invoices to the right person or organization. It usually has a structured format, such as 12-345678-12345, where each part helps to direct the invoice to the correct destination.

Make sure to get your Leitweg ID from the relevant authority if you don’t have one yet.

To make the transition to e-invoicing easier, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your my.anydesk account.
2. Depending on the version of the management portal you use, do one of the following: 
   1. In my.anydesk I: Go to Settings > Customer.
   2. In my.anydesk II: Go to License > Billing Information.
3. In the Leitweg ID field, provide your Leitweg ID to enable e-invoicing.
