- Belgium will require mandatory e-invoicing for B2B VAT-registered businesses starting January 1, 2026.
- A three-month penalty-free tolerance period will apply for infractions if businesses show reasonable and timely compliance efforts.
- Tolerance covers technical or system limitations in sending or receiving structured e-invoices, but alternative invoicing methods must still be used.
- Each case will be individually assessed, and sanctions may apply if insufficient effort is shown; there will be no general extension of the mandate.
- Businesses must actively prepare for compliance and document their efforts, as the tax authority will review non-compliance cases during the tolerance period.
