Belgium will implement near real-time electronic VAT reporting by January 1, 2028. This follows a mandate for structured B2B e-invoicing using the Peppol framework starting January 1, 2026. The new system, using a five-corner Peppol model, will replace the annual customer listing and transmit invoice data near-live to tax authorities to improve fraud detection. These changes align with the EU’s VIDA initiative. Businesses should adopt Peppol invoicing by 2026, upgrade their systems for real-time reporting by 2028, and monitor sector-specific mandates, such as the extension of fiscal cash register requirements.
