Belgium Confirms 2026 Peppol E-Invoicing Mandate with 2028 Near Real-Time Reporting to Follow

• Mandatory E-Invoicing Launch: Belgium will mandate B2B structured e-invoicing starting January 1, 2026, requiring all resident businesses to issue e-invoices in the Peppol BIS 3.0 format, with no PDF invoices permitted after December 31, 2025.
• Transition to Real-Time Reporting: From January 1, 2028, Belgium will implement near real-time e-reporting of invoice data to tax authorities, aiming to enhance tax data accuracy and reduce the VAT gap, while aligning with EU digital reporting goals.
• Compliance and Incentives: A new penalty regime will impose fines for non-compliance, while businesses investing in e-invoicing solutions can benefit from tax deductions. Companies are advised to prepare for the upcoming changes by upgrading their systems and collaborating with Peppol-compliant service providers.
