- Decommissioning of Hermes E-Invoicing Solution: The Belgian government plans to decommission the Hermes e-invoicing solution by December 31, 2025, following recommendations from the Business Experts Group on e-invoicing, which reassessed the platform in July 2024.
- Market Readiness for E-Invoicing Compliance: The decision to phase out Hermes comes as the government believes there are now sufficient IT providers available to support e-invoicing compliance, leading to the termination of Hermes Integration Agreements by BOSA SD.
- Action Required for Current Users: Organizations using the Hermes solution are advised to evaluate and transition to alternative e-invoicing options to meet the January 2026 compliance mandate. While the Hermes solution will be deactivated by the end of 2025, users will still have access to consultation mode until March 31, 2026.
