- Belgium is moving towards a digital economy with a mandate for electronic invoicing for VAT-registered businesses starting 1 January 2026.
- The mandate applies to B2B transactions but not to B2C transactions.
- The Peppol network will be used for e-invoicing, part of Belgium’s Digital Belgium BE E-Invoicing strategy.
- Exceptions exist for businesses not established in Belgium and without a permanent establishment there.
- The system uses the Peppol Continuous Transaction Controls model for real-time data exchange.
- Businesses must prepare for the transition, especially those with complex invoicing systems.
- Peppol is a framework for secure electronic-document exchange, already used in Europe for public procurement.
