As of November 1st, 2020, suppliers of the public administration in Brussels are obliged to invoice electronically. With this measure, the government hopes to encourage the implementation of B2G e-invoicing with regional and local public entities in the capital as well as in other parts of Belgium.
The obligation for suppliers to invoice electronically in Brussels, whether they have a legal entity in Belgium or not, is set out in Circular 2020042332: Extension of the use of electronic invoicing by entities in the Brussels-Capital Region.
With this measure, Brussels joins other European Union countries such as France and Italy in extending the obligation to use electronic invoicing not only to public administrations but also to their suppliers. The Europe-wide electronic invoicing obligation was established by European Directive 2014/55.
