- Mandatory B2B e-invoicing for VAT-registered businesses in Belgium starts January 1, 2026.
- Non-Belgium VAT-registered buyers are excluded from the mandate.
- A three-month grace period (no penalties) will be granted for compliance from January to March 2026, provided businesses act in good faith.
- If recipients cannot technically receive e-invoices, suppliers may issue paper or non-structured electronic invoices instead.
- Recipients must still be able to receive e-invoices or risk sanctions; the law aims for a balanced, practical transition.
