- The Belgian government confirmed the B2B e-invoicing mandate will take effect on January 1, 2026, removing previous legal uncertainties.
- The scope of the mandate is clarified: only taxable persons established in Belgium are required to issue structured e-invoices, not foreign entities merely identified for VAT.
- A fallback mechanism is introduced, allowing suppliers to issue standard invoices if the client cannot technically receive e-invoices; clients remain liable for compliance.
- The bill includes updates to technical standardization and other VAT-related amendments.
