- Benelux, consisting of Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg, is in the process of adopting electronic invoicing. The implementation is already widespread in public administration contracts regulated by European laws, but the progress varies for business-to-business transactions.
- In Belgium, electronic invoicing is advancing at different speeds. In the Business-to-Government (B2G) sector, electronic invoicing is mandatory for suppliers serving public institutions, and the federal government operates on the Mercurius platform linked to the PEPPOL network. Electronic invoicing between companies (B2B) will become mandatory from January 1, 2026.
- In the Netherlands, electronic invoicing is required for public tenders, and central public administrations connect to the Digipoort platform linked to the PEPPOL network.
- In Luxembourg, B2G electronic invoicing is mandatory for all businesses, and electronic invoices must be transmitted through the PEPPOL network.
- Utilizing electronic invoicing provides a competitive edge for companies seeking to secure public contracts in the Benelux market countries.
