- Mandatory E-Invoicing Timeline: Starting January 1, 2026, all VAT-registered businesses in Belgium must issue and receive structured electronic invoices for domestic B2B transactions, with the next phase of real-time e-reporting set to begin on January 1, 2028. B2C and certain cross-border transactions are excluded from this mandate.
- Peppol Network and Standardization: The reform utilizes the EN 16931 EU standard, ensuring invoices are machine-readable and compatible across various systems via the Peppol network. The 4-corner model facilitates secure and validated transmission of invoices through certified Access Points.
- Strategic Implications for Businesses: Companies are encouraged to prepare early for the e-invoicing transition to modernize their financial systems and streamline operations. Proactive adaptation can enhance governance and reduce risks of payment delays and operational disruptions, while also aligning with the EU’s broader digital taxation initiatives.
