- Mandatory e-invoicing between Belgian VAT-registered businesses starts January 1, 2026.
- A three-month tolerance period (no sanctions) will apply for breaches related to the new e-invoicing obligation, provided companies can show timely and reasonable preparation.
- The tolerance covers technical or system-related issues preventing compliant e-invoicing, but companies must still fulfill invoicing obligations by alternative means.
- No general postponement will be granted; only companies making genuine efforts to comply will benefit from the tolerance.
- Each case will be assessed individually, and the aim is to encourage timely compliance without delaying the benefits of e-invoicing.
