- EV chargers in Belgium are considered suppliers of goods for VAT purposes, with VAT treatment differing between B2B (invoice required) and B2C (receipt or digital confirmation) transactions.
- EV charging is currently exempt from Belgian fiscalization rules; no certified cash register systems (GKS) are required regardless of revenue.
- Operators must still comply with VAT law, provide transparent proof of payment, and ensure energy meters meet national standards.
- Digital receipts and real-time access to pricing/payment information are standard, especially in B2C contexts.
- Businesses should segment EV charging transactions from other services for correct VAT application and monitor for potential future regulatory changes.
