- From 1 January 2026, electronic invoicing via the Peppol network will be mandatory for B2B transactions between Belgian VAT-registered businesses.
- Peppol does not change the legal requirements for making invoice terms enforceable; terms must still be communicated and accepted before or at contract conclusion.
- Simply sending or receiving an invoice via Peppol does not mean automatic acceptance of invoice terms or content.
- Businesses should update and clearly communicate their general terms and conditions, including Peppol-specific clauses, to ensure enforceability.
- It is advisable to specify acceptance of Peppol invoices, dispute procedures, payment terms, and the customer’s responsibility to register on Peppol in your terms and conditions.
