VAT code 00 does not cover all possibilities in Peppol (UBL)In Belgium, you use code 00 for “no VAT”

But within Peppol you have to choose between two TaxCategories:

Z (Zero-rated / zero rate) → 0% based on specific legislation.
E (Exempt) → exemptions such as healthcare, education, financial/insurance services, small business exemption scheme.

➡️ Also, include a VATEX reason.

⚠️ In e-reporting and automatic validations, a wrong choice can lead to warnings, rejections or fines.

✅ e-invoice.be helps you map 00 → Z or E correctly, including the correct TaxCategory and VATEX reason — fully Peppol compliant.
