- Mandatory e-Reporting System: The Belgian government has approved a near real-time e-Reporting system for tax purposes, set to begin on January 1, 2028. This system will utilize the Peppol 5-corner network to send specific tax data electronically to a centralized government portal, enhancing efficiency in tax data collection.
- Implementation of B2B e-Invoicing: Starting January 1, 2026, Belgium will mandate the use of structured electronic invoices for all B2B transactions, based on the Peppol BIS 3.0 standard. This regulation aims to reduce tax evasion and improve tax efficiency, prohibiting paper invoices and unstructured formats like PDFs.
- Transition and Compliance Preparation: The e-Reporting system will replace the annual VAT client listing, streamlining tax reporting and reducing errors. Businesses are encouraged to prepare their systems for compliance with these upcoming regulations, with additional technical details expected from the Belgian tax authorities in the near future.
